Battle Dream Best in Sabalou Special

This race is named for Sabalou, Queensland’s guru.  Lou has been instrumental in keeping Queensland going strong through thick and thin for over a decade.  He is their spiritual leader and a heck of a nice guy. 

 

Fittingly, Queensland based  BATTLE DREAM(GB)  proved best, getting up by the narrowest of margins over a dead game Kalbarri.  General’s Son rallied strongly for the show.   Blazing Legacy and Cabsarehere dueled early and faded to fourth and fifth respectively.  The others were always outrun.

 

The victory was Battle Dream’s second grade one success in his last three tries and catapulted him into a second place ranking among older turf sprinters.  Next up for the son of Dansili and multiple graded winner Battlefield Earth is a trip to either Dubai or Japan.
