One to Watch – Mornington

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday December 28

The powerful Maher and Eustace stable had a short priced favourite in the 1500m Benchmark 64 event at Mornington on Wednesday and she kept her record at a perfect two for two brining a nice pedigree update for her Karaka Book 1 bound full sister.

Blue Light Enhances Breeding Success
