Pat Hyland was the front runner in the popularity stakes at Warrnambool, on Sunday, after Gredington won the opening race on the card.

And for good reason, the Magnus colt is raced by a syndicate known as the “Racing Women”, with at least a dozen members and could be a few more.

Whilst it was the first win for Gredington, from a limited number of starts, he is showing promise of better things to come, with possible spring aspirations.

Pat is even talking about the Caulfield Guineas, he has spring thoughts in mind and in his step, time will tell.
