Scoring on debut for trainer Anthony Freedman, the exciting 2YO became Charm
Spirit's sixth individual first-crop winner when displaying an impressive turn
of foot to win by just under 4 lengths in the 1300m event at Bendigo.
"The owners have been
patient and they should be rewarded for that, he is only going to continue to
get better with more time and racing," said Freedman who will assess the
two-year-old over the coming days before deciding on an immediate plan for him.
"We might put him aside for a short break and target the back end of the Spring but I will give him a couple of days to get over today first."
Purchased for $125,000 by Bahen Bloodstock & Anthony Freedman Racing from the 2018 Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale, Heirborn's victory closely follows the success of Sansom, another son of Charm Spirit, who recorded his third win in succession the previous weekend in Melbourne for trainer Phillip Stokes
