Talented three-year-old gelding Craig returned to the winner’s circle at Flemington on Saturday after an unlucky second-place finish at his previous start.
Ridden by Luke Currie, the imported son of Darley’s Territories was positioned more forward, taking luck out of the equation.
“He jumped and got into a great spot. Rise At Dawn was the bunny on our last start and we nearly caught him. This time we were able to bounce, and we were able to get the job done,” Natalie Young, who trains Craig in partnership with Trent Busuttin, told Racing.com.
“I thought it was a great win by the horse. He’s third-up. He realistically should be three from three.
“He’s a nice horse with a lot of upside.”
Young added that Craig, who was bought after his debut in England where he placed third at Newmarket last November, would return to Flemington for the Silver Bowl Series Final (1600m) on July 6.
