Zebulon created a big impression in winning the Murray Cox Handicap, with a barnstorming performance in the opening agenda at Flemington yesterday.

Winter form will always be subject to question, when spring is mentioned, however, this colt might just be the exception.

He was never suited over the 1100 metres at Werribee, it was far too short, Flemington suits his style of racing much better.

After drawing a wide gate Linda Meech, the replacement rider for Glen Boss, allowed the colt plenty of time to balance up before calling on him for his effort.

Once Zebulon commenced his run at the top of the straight he soon joined the body of the field, coming away to win full of running.

There was a lot of potential shown by the colt once he reached the lead, he went as straight as a gun barrel, and a copy book ride from Linda Meech, she gave the colt every chance, he was her 100^th winner for the season.

Zebulon is prepared by the training partnership of Peter Morgan, and Craig Widdison, at Talwood Park Whittlesea.

The colt may have another run in a fortnight depending how well he pulls up, otherwise he will get the benefit of a break before it is time to prepare him for the Caulfield Guineas.
