The best in the west, Scales Of Justice was back on his pedestal following a dominant performance in Saturday's $150,000 Group III Hyperion Stakes (1600m) at Belmont Park.
Famously beaten a nose by Stratum Star in the Group I Kingston Town Classic at Ascot last December when Douglas Whyte appeared to misjudge the finishing line, Scales Of Justice began his current preparation with a luckless second to Rock Magic in the Group III Belmont Sprint when caught wide the trip.
No such problem here as Daniel
Never off the board in 16 starts, the son 4yo son of Not A Single Doubt won the Group I Railway Stakes at Ascot last November.
His overall record stands at 8 wins, 7 seconds and 1 third from16 starts with earnings of $1,266,350.
Trainer Lindsey Smith has indicated he would like to step his star pupil up to 2000 metres in the Strickland Stakes in a fortnight, which will be used as a guide to next year's Group I Australian Cup.
Bred by Gerard and Kathy Hammond, Scales Of Justice was consigned to the 2014 Inglis Premier Yearling
A half-brother to three winners including the stakes-placed Cruyfforme (Johan Cruyff), Scales Of Justice is the sixth live foal of the unraced Umatilla mare Beymatilla, a half-sister to the stakes-placed Rancho Rose and to the dam of Group III VRC Standish Handicap winner King
Beymatilla was consigned to the 2014 Great Southern Bloodstock Sale where she could not make her paltry $400 reserve.
She has not had a live foal since Scales Of Justice but was covered by Magnus last spring. However, a return to the Stud Book has not been submitted for last two seasons.
Not A Single Doubt (Redoute's Choice) has lived in the shadow of stablemate Snitzel in most categories except one this season.
He leads the nation with four Group I winners this season, one more than Snitzel.
