Lindsay Park, with Regan Bayliss, famously won the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) and the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes (1200m) with Redkirk Warrior in 2017 and 2018.

Bayliss will aim to secure another Group 1 victory for the stable as he rides Here To Shock in Saturday’s Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm.

A winner of nine of his 29 starts, Here To Shock claimed the Group 3 Victoria Handicap (1400m) at Caulfield on April 6 and recently won the Group 3 BRC Sprint (1350m) at Doomben on May 25.

Ben Hayes stated that the gelding has trained brilliantly since that victory.

“We’re very happy with him. He’s been training well. He’s done everything right,” Hayes said.

“He’s well-weighted and he’s drawn a good gate. He’s three weeks into the race and it has been a long-range plan for us to get him there.

“He’s a horse in form and he’ll run well.”

Here To Shock is listed as a +1900 winning hope with horse racing betting sites and will jump from barrier one.
