Statuario earns his shot at G1 glory!
Statuario will take his place in the $1M G1 South Australian Derby over 2500M at Morphettville on Saturday, and has firmed into the clear favourite out of an inside draw.
John Allen has opted to stick with the big grey after recently taking out the VRC St Leger on the Busuttin & Young trained galloper, American Wolf (NZ). John will be gunning for his 5th win in the race, with an unparalleled four victories from the past nine editions on Howard Be Thy Name (2016), Volatile Mix (2017), Russian Camelot (2020) and Explosive Jack (2021).
Trainer Emma-Lee Browne caught up with ANZ Bloodstock earlier in the week, and shared the following.
“We’re very happy with him. He had his final piece of serious work on Saturday, going around with our mare Basilinna, and Lucy was very happy with him. He’ll have a little sprint to keep him sharp on Tuesday.
“You can’t be too confident. They don’t like to give them away, these Group 1s, and it will be a tough enough race. And it’ll be a big field and luck in running has to come into it – a lot can go wrong on raceday.
“So hopefully we’ve got him there as best we can, things will go our way and he puts his hand up.”
Statuario will travel over to Adelaide tonight and will be well represented on the day, with a large group of owners travelling from all around the country to support their champ.
We wish his trainers Emma-Lee & David Browne and the entire team at Sparta Racing, Lenny Russo of Bluegrass Bloodstock, who will be representing TR on the day, and his extremely excited connections the very best of luck on Saturday! 🏆🤞

Since then, we have inspected all D'Argento's available at public auction, and were fortunate to secure a lovely filly earlier in the year that is currently with the best breaker in the business, Julien Walsh of Booralite Park.

Highlights
Celebrating the Listed Galilee Series Final
Hard not to be a tad biased this month after Statuario took out the Listed Galilee Series Final at Caulfield last month, with a huge group of owners on course to celebrate!
It was fantastic to tick off our first stakes win in only our 4th racing season as syndicators, and it was incredibly satisfying to be able to reward many of our loyal clients who have supported us since day one.
