Deep Field kept his unbeaten record intact in winning the Group 2, the tab.com.au Stakes, at Flemington.

He is a class act as was seen with his performance down the straight six, he has now won at his only five starts.

The straight six can be a bit daunting, he drew wide at the gate and when the field jumped away he was out in no man’s land, after finding the outside rail as a guide he raced fairly true, but still a bit green, he will benefit from the experience.

Deep Field is a brilliant racehorse, he has now won at Group 2 level and a Group1 looks a mere formality in the Autumn.

His racing career is going to be closely monitored from here on by leading stud farms, as he definitely has sire potential.

He is a full brother to the Caulfield Guineas winner, Shooting To Win by Northern Meteor, after leaving just four crops of racing age he has since passed on.

The loss of Northern Meteor was widely felt throughout the breeding industry; he was riding on the crest of a wave when he died at Widden Stud as a result of colic.

Deep Field could well be the heir apparent to Northern Meteor; he already has one son at stud in Fighting Sun, who is getting great support in his first season at Eliza Park
