Promising 2YO Winner for Hellbent

Tara Madgwick - Thursday July 13

Not to be outdone by his Yarraman Park barn mate Brave Smash (Jpn), Hellbent posted his 11th Australian two year-old winner of the season at Gosford on Thursday when Boston Rocks blitzed older rivals to win as he pleased.

Trained by Nathan Doyle, Boston Rocks was unplaced at his only previous run in a metro maiden back in February, but with two recent brilliant trial wins under his belt was sent out favourite and gave punters no cause for concern.

He cruised past the leaders to take the 1000m dash by nearly three lengths.
