Clements' pair catch the eye
Real Success and Bold Thruster finish 1-2 without being extended in third trial
Dual Group 3 winner Bold Thruster caught the eye in his trial yesterday for his return to racing.
Now with trainer Michael Clements, after nine starts for six wins under Shane Baertschiger including the Group 3 JBBA Singapore Three-Year-Old Sprint (1,200m) and Group 3 Rocket Man Sprint (1,200m), Bold Thruster led with Singapore Derby-winning jockey Joseph Azzopardi astride.
He was joined by stablemate and last-start winner Real Success in the final 250m. The two horses ran to the post as one. The photo-finish print showed Real Success a nose in front.
The third horse, Gold Star, ran on nicely. He is another worth following.
