Sebring
didn't get a stakes-winner on Saturday, but he didn't miss by much with two
highly promising three year old colts in Gold Standard and Plutocracy beaten
narrowly in Group III events.
Having just his third start, the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Gold
Standard beat all but $1million colt Dracarys when going down by a long head in
the Group III ATC Up and Coming Stakes.
Gold Standard is improving with every start and has the brightest of futures.
"He's a real workman like horse and it feels like he'll be better the further
he gets," said his rider Tommy Berry.
The Hayes / Dabernig trained colt Plutocracy looked all over a winner in the
Group III MRC Vain Stakes before being collared late by Jukebox to be beaten a
half neck in the 1100 metre dash.
"He has been beaten by a very good colt but he's a nice horse," said his rider
Regan Bayliss.
Sebring also posted two promising three year-old winners at the lesser tracks
with Sebfire winning his second race from three starts for the Darren Weir
stable at Morphettville, while the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Dante
Rossetti scored an easy victory at Kembla a his second start.
