The Gavin Sharrock-trained galloper Stipulator announced her candidacy for the Gr.1 Barneswood Farm New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton next month with a stylish performance at Hawera.
Gavin Sharrock was confident of a winning run from Soldier Boy at Trentham and his judgment proved on the money with the four-year-old producing a strong staying performance to claim Saturday’s Listed Marton Cup (2200m).
