After a strong last start second at metropolitan level, Off The Press lined up at Randwick looking to claim that elusive metro win, and he delivered. From a soft draw he jumped well, settled on the leader’s back and moved into clear air on the bend.
Braith Nock lifted him the entire straight and he found plenty late to score by a narrow margin. A terrific training effort from Todd Smart, who has now recorded three wins with him this preparation. Another great ride from Braith who keeps delivering in our colours.
He has now returned nearly ten times his humble $15,000 purchase price for his loyal owners.
