Best known as the sire of Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign, Manhattan Rain relocated to Blue Gum Farm in Victoria in 2017, so his two year-olds this season are his first bred in Victoria and they include a brilliant debut winner at Geelong on Thursday.
Prior to Saturday’s Saturday’s Listed Just Now Stakes at Eagle Farm, the five-year-old Manhattan Rain mare Alison Of Tuffy had contested two stakes races, finishing last of 13 in the Group III James Carr Stakes and beating just two of the 18 runners home in the PJ Bell takes, both at Randwick.
