A Group I winner last spring for Yulong when winning the Group I MRC Might and Power Stakes over Mr Brightside, Deny Knowledge (IRE) looks primed for another good campaign with a first up win in the Listed MRC Victoria Gold Cup (2000m) at Caulfield on Saturday.
The $2million Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) looked an open affair on paper with the potential for an up and comer to take the prize and so it unfolded with the most expensive yearling purchase in the race delivering victory for Yulong as a maiden at just his second start.
