Winning Rupert Breaks Track Record

Media Release - Sunday December 4
While it wasn't a black type race, the most impressive win on a metropolitan track anywhere in Australia on Saturday was turned in by unbeaten three-year-old Winning Rupert.

Written TycoonA $67,500 Gold Coast March Yearling Sale purchase in 2015 for trainer Bjorn Baker, Winning Rupert smashed his rivals as well as the 1200 metre track record at Eagle Farm.

The track record breaking feat was incredible considering the son of Written Tycoon was being eased down by Jeff Lloyd.

Baker and fellow connections are eyeing off the $2 million Gold Coast Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m) - via the new Summer Crown Triple Crown series of races - today's win was the first leg of the series.
