Sadly for Australian breeders there are no Japanese sires on the Arrowfield roster this year thanks to the pandemic, but one of them did give us an eye-catching winner at Scone on Tuesday that was among the top sellers at the Inglis Ready2Race Sale last year.
Second behind the Smart Missile gelding Kings Regency when making his career debut at Muswellbrook on May 24, the Paul Messara-trained Outburst made no mistake at his second in a 1400 maiden at Scone on Tuesday to become the first winner in Australia for the Group 1 ATC George Ryder Stakes and Group 1 Yasuda Kinen hero Real Impact (JPN).
