Smart Missile 2YO Wins Six from Six

Tara Madgwick - Sunday June 12

There have been a lot of very good 2YO’s race in Australian this year and we saw a number of them contest the Group I BRC JJ Atkins Stakes at Eagle Farm on Saturday won by Sheeza Belter, but further north in Queensland at Townsville there was another 2YO in action that notched his sixth win from six starts to be the most winning juvenile so far this season.

Trained by Roy Chillemi, Smart Missile gelding Missile Thunder scored the biggest win of his career when taking out the $100,000 QTIS Classic (1200m) by the best part of two lengths as a short priced favourite.

Missile Thunder won on debut at Townsville in October and has won every start since racking up nearly $180,000 in prizemoney.
