First Winner for Highland Reel

Tara Madgwick - Thursday June 3

Galileo’s champion son Highland Reel (IRE) has been a popular shuttler to Swettenham Stud in Victoria for the past three season covering over 400 mares and he posted his first Northern Hemisphere winner overnight in the UK with Highland Premiere saluting.

Fourth and third at his first two starts, the Mark Johnston trained colt was a short priced favourite for the six furlong juvenile novice and was tenacious to the line to win by a neck.
