It was a winning day at the Balaklava mid-weeks on Wednesday 18th of June when the stable saddled up two runners for two victories.

The recently acquired 6-year-old gelding Italian Informant was able to win first up for the stable under the riding of gun hoop Todd Pannell. Luigi, as he's affectionately known, travelled well on the speed and kicked away strongly in the straight for a commanding victory. Luigi is a product of the uphill sand track at home and will improve even further throughout the winter on rain affected decks.
The day got even better when the consistent 4-year-old mare Spirit of Flight was able to run down the veteran France's Boy in fine style under a beautiful steer from Stacey Metcalfe to bring up a race to race double for the stable. Jet, as he's affectionately known, rewarded his connections after his very commendable last start fourth at metropolitan level.
