Greg Hickman Trains New Winner for Pierata

Tara Madgwick - Friday May 31

Greg Hickman had $4.5million worth of thrills and excitement training Group I winning sprinter Pierata and the son of Pierro gave him a promising winner at Wagga on Friday in Prorata.

Midfield on debut at Warwick Farm earlier this month, Prorata was sent out favourite for the $30,000 Lamont Classic (1200m) for juveniles at Wagga and duly found the line with a rush to win by two and a half lengths in the same colours carried by his sire.
