Runaway Win for Reldas

Tara Madgwick - Saturday December 20
Bolting away to win by six lengths at Moonee Valley on Friday night was talented Testa Rossa gelding Reldas, an $82,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Cameron Cooke Bloodstock from the draft of Mill Park.

Prepared by Robert Smerdon, Reldas was having his second run back from a spell after being gelded and was utterly dominant in the 1200 metre Benchmark 70 event as favourite.

With three wins and four placings from nine starts and earnings nearing $80,000, Reldas looks set for a good campaign over the summer months.

Bred by Mill Park in partnership, Reldas is a half-brother to brilliant stakes-winner Victory Chant and is the second winner from Classic Status, a half-sister by Marscay to Group I MRC Thousand Guineas winner Serious Speed and to the dam of Group II winner Majestic Music.

Mill Park will offer two youngsters from this family at the 2015 Magic Millions.
