Blueblood Brabinger making up for lost time
READ MORE
Brabinger’s rehabilitation process meant he didn’t see the track as a two-year-old, and it has taken until the end of his three-year-old year to get the colt into full training.
A couple of easy wins on his home track at Newcastle, firstly in a maiden and then a class 2, have given Lees the confidence to bring him to Rosehill for his biggest test.
“We are going to find out where he stands against the city horses. He can only win like he has, but this is jumping a couple of grades,” Lees said. “He is a classy individual, but you don’t know how good they are until they get put under that extra pressure.”
Brabinger has been backed from $4.20 to $3.20 since markets opened on Wednesday and is part of a strong team for the Lees stable at Rosehill.
“He gets his chance to show how good he is, but we also have Chalmers, which has won three of his past five, and Princess Posh, which probably should have finish much closer last time,” Lees said. “We are going to the races hoping for a bit of luck.”
