A $67,500 Gold Coast March Yearling Sale purchase in 2015 for trainer Bjorn Baker, Winning Rupert smashed his rivals as well as the 1200 metre track record at Eagle Farm.
The track record breaking feat was incredible considering the son of Written Tycoon was being eased down by Jeff Lloyd.
A graduate of Eliza Park International, Winning Rupert held a five and three quarter length margin at the post - his third win from as many starts.
Baker and fellow connections are eyeing off the $2 million Gold Coast Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m) - via the new Summer Crown Triple Crown series of races - today's win was the first leg of the series.
