Saperavi (NZ)

Just when you thought the Victorian Spring Carnival was over the Melbourne Racing Club are serving up another day of stakes racing with an astonishing seven Black Type races on the card, plus the first running of the $400,000 MRC Whispering Angel Melbourne Classic (2000m) for 3YOs.  

The $1.5million Group I WATC Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) is the highlight event in Australian racing on Saturday and it’s a good time to reflect on arguably the most impressive winner of this race in recent years as her first foal will be offered at Magic Millions in January.
