Handled patiently by her trainer Cliff Brown, Honor Galore surged to the line under hands and heels riding from Linda Meech to take the 1100m maiden by more than a length over the favourite Written Bligh, a filly by Blue Diamond winner Written By.

uo;She’s a beautiful horse to look at and has a great attitude,” said Cliff Brown, who was originally going to start her off in town, but was concerned about the wet tracks.

“She’ll go for a break now and we’ll bring her back later in the year and see how she goes.”

 

 

A $440,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Vinery Stud draft for Cliff Brown, she runs for Glen Whittenbury’s Barree Pastoral and is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to brilliant filly Outback Barbie, a stakes-winner of $1.5million. Honor Galore is the first foal from Meow, a winning half-sister by More than Ready (USA) to stakes-winners Global Warming and Pure Purrfection.

Honor Galore is the 20th two year-old winner of the season for Eureka Stud’s Spirit of Boom, who has edged ahead of I Am Invincible and Russian Revolution on 18 2YO winners each.

Spirit of Boom stands at a fee of $38,500.
