Linebacker is a pure product of the Jonathon Munz/ Dean Hawthorne academy, so it would be fitting if the John O'Shea-trained colt credits Super Seth with his first stakes-winner in Saturday's Group III Hyland Race Colours Baillieu Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill.
One of the most potent nicks in the world has been with Fastnet Rock over Galileo mares and we saw it on Saturday in the shape of Group I winner Via Sistina (IRE) and again at Hawkesbury on Thursday in a promising maiden winner from the Ciaron Maher stable.
