Flying Artie's Democracy Manifest Opens Winning Account

Mark Smith - Sunday September 12

With Flying Artie’s son Giannis winning the Listed Dulcify Stakes and his Blue Diamond Stakes winning son Artorius edged out in the Listed Exford Plate, the win of Democracy Manifest at Dubbo on Sunday may be little more than a bleep on the radar.

Still, it does give us an excuse to replay one of the most extraordinary arrests of all time.
