Arguably the most progressive three year-old in Queensland, talented Better Thean Ready gelding The Vowels made it five wins on the trot when stepping up to Black Type company to down stakes-winning filly Wolverine in the $160,000 Listed BRC Daybreak Lover Stakes (1400m).
The Kris Lees trained Wolverine was sent out favourite after a last start third in the Group III ATC Carbine Club Stakes at The Championships, but she was outgunned to the line by The Vowels, who scored a long head win.
Trained by Toby and Trent Edmonds, The Vowels has made a steady progress through the grades racking up six wins from nine starts with prizemoney just shy of $300,000.
A $100,000 Magic Millions Book 2 purchase for On Fire Racing/Edmonds Racing/Kestrel Thoroughbreds from the Yarramalong Park draft, The Vowels is the first winner from Group III placed Mareeza, who sadly died last year.
The Vowels is the ninth stakes-winner for Lyndhurst Stud’s Better Than Ready and is his third this season.
