After starting his career in fine style with a fast-finishing third in the time-honoured Group 3 Breeders’ Plate on debut, Astrologer broke through to break his maiden at Canterbury today in fine style.

Well rated by jockey Tommy Berry behind the pace, Astrologer quickened in the manner of a smart colt in the straight, and, kept up to his work, ran on strongly for an impressive victory.

Astrologer is the second stakes performer for his dam Fast ‘n’ Witty, who has already produced smart and progressive sprinter Deep Speed, and was secured by James Harron Bloodstock for $300,000 from the Edinglassie Stud draft at the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

Thanks go to trainers Peter and Paul Snowden and congratulations to winning owners Belinda Bateman, Rob Love, Fergus Doyle, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, Steve & Louise Gillard, Danny & Pauline Saab, Gary Diamond and John & Fran Ingham.
