Vibrant Rouge wins again.
Vibrant Rouge looks as if she will get further than the 1200metres of the Big Picture Group Handicap, after coming from last to win impressively.
That was her second city win having won at Moonee Valley last month, and while she can maintain that form she can win again in this preparation, she has the score on the board with three wins from four outings.
The lightly raced four year old mare, trained at Geelong, showed great acceleration, she picked the leaders up with ease, it was just a matter of her retaining her present form to win again over the holiday period.
The win was a well earned result for the father and son combination of trainer, Glenn Thornton and rider Damian, a talented apprentice with a big future in racing.
Vibrant Rouge is by Written Tycoon, a consistent sire of winners, with his oldest progeny four year olds, he formerly stood at Eliza Park but has since been moved to Queensland after the Eliza Group acquired Newgate Farm.
The move was made to bolster the stallion strength on the new venture in Queensland for one season, but whether the handsome sire will return back to Victoria is yet to be decided.
