Tara Madgwick - Sunday May 9

Relocating to Victoria this spring to stand at Swettenham Stud in conjunction with Coolmore, Rubick sired an impressive debut juvenile winner at Ballarat on Sunday in Sudoko.

Trained by Mick Price and Mick Kent Jr, Sudoko was the widest runner turning for home and surged to the line to beat the hot favourite Ostracised by a dominant two and a half lengths in the 1100m juvenile maiden.
