Darby Owners Will be Celebrating!

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Jul 30

The curtain is coming down on an amazingly successful season for Sydney based syndicators Darby Racing and their owners, who have enjoyed G1 success thanks to Caballus and the thrill of Royal Ascot with Overpass and the Darby colours today racked up a winning quartet at Kembla.

Darby Racing recently ticked over 100 wins for the season and today added to the tally!

The Darby quartet today kicked off with a maiden win for three year-old Graff gelding Lego Master, who was resuming from a spell and scored a length win in the 1200m maiden.

Trained by Bjorn Baker, Lego Master has had three placings and finally a win from just five starts banking over $44,000 in prizemoney, which is quite a result when you consider he was bought for just $2,000 at the Inglis HTBA Yearling Sale by Darby Racing.

Next to salute was the Waterhouse Bott trained three year-old Cobra Club, who has always shown natural talent and was second on debut at two to another Darby Racing star Within the Law in the $500,000 Inglis Nursery.

The son of Cool Aza Beel  bounced back to form winning the 1450m Class 2 event over 1450m and has now won nearly $190,000 in prizemoney, rewarding his owners with a profit given he was purchased for $70,000 at Inglis Classic.

Making it a treble for the day was the Bjorn Baker trained four year-old Extreme Choice gelding Stallone, who was first up from a spell since December and score by a long neck.

Being by a freakishly good sire in Extreme Choice, he cost a little more as a $300,000 Magic Millions purchase, but is on his way to paying that back with three wins from 12 starts.

Also finding winning form in the Darby colours was Street Boss (USA) gelding Heuristic, who opened his account for the Mitchell Beer and George Carpenter stable with a length win over 1200m.

He was sourced through Inglis Digital for $110,000.
