Ferrari Man has been long overdue to break the ice after placing at his last three starts and got the job done in style at Bendigo.

Stepping up to 1600m, he made it a procession for Jordan Childs, cruising home to win as he pleased.

A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for Gai Waterhouse/Adrian Bott/Kestrel Thoroughbreds, Ferrari Man runs for a big syndicate of happy owners.

Bred by SF Bloodstock and foaled and raised at Newgate, Ferrari Man is the first foal of imported stakes-winner Iron Mizz (USA).

Winner of the Group II ATC Run to the Rose and third in the Group I ATC Golden Rose, promising sire Menari has well documented fertility issues and now stands at Corumbene Stud where he was bred.

The flashy bay son of Snitzel stands at a fee of $16,500 this spring.
