There were no hard stories about this time, Hellbent was right on the ball in winning the Group 1 William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley.

He was denied the Oakleigh Plate, due to sheer bad luck, however, that is all behind him now, there was no bad luck story last night, Craig Williams made sure of that.

Instead of looking for runs Williams elected to circle the field that was the winning move, the race was soon put beyond doubt.

The Mitchell family, Arthur and Harry, are involved in the ownership of Hellbent, and now that he has won a Group1, and rising five year old, a stud career may not be far off.

Hellbent is by Yarraman Park’s leading sire, I Am Invincible, whose progeny earnings this season are $9,946,858.
