Another Two-Year-old Winner for Headwater as Furrina Opens Her Account

Vinery Stud’s Headwater has been a quiet achiever in the race for the number of two-year winners.

Headwater's Runwiththetide Gets His Reward

Unfortunate enough to meet the next start Group III winner, The Novelist, when on debut at Kembla Grange last December, Runwiththetide had been a model of consistency without winning at his following three starts. After being gelded, the son of Headwater emerged from a 23-week spell to break his maiden over 1100m at Randwick-Kensington on Wednesday.
