Capitalist colt Aardvark was secured on behalf of the JHB Colt Partnership after a pair of impressive early-season jump outs, and confirmed the promise of his October debut, when third to Coleman in the Listed Debutant Stakes, when running out an impressive winner of the Listed Talindert Stakes at Flemington this weekend. In doing so he became the fourth 2YO stakes winner for this crop of the JHB Colt Partnership.
Settled beautifully behind the speed under jockey Damian Lane, Aardvark powered through to lead in the final stages, winning with his ears pricked.
Many thanks to trainers Troy and Leon Corstens, who had Aarvark well prepared, and a big congratulations to owners Belinda Bateman, Rob Love, Gary Diamond, Danny & Pauline Saab, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, Jean-Dominique & Rianna Huynh, Marc & Lindy de Stoop, Tom & Leslie Kennedy, Ron Gilbert, Peter and Michelle McMahon and Dean Harvey.
