At a rare Hawkesbury midweek city meeting, Vancouver colt Aslav made an impressive winning debut today, showing a great attitude throughout to power through the pack and win with his ears pricked under Champion jockey Hugh Bowman.
Patiently and beautifully prepared by his trainer Chris Waller, Aslav was a $260,000 James Harron Bloodstock purchase at the Inglis Ready2Race Sale as a 2YO in October, and we now look forward to stepping him up in grade, possibly with an eye on the Brisbane Winter Carnival, where Chris has such a good record.
He was selected after a particularly impressive breeze, which was the fastest time recorded of the catalogue for those who breezed in Melbourne, and joins multiple stakes winner Odyssey Moon as a JHB-selected graduate of this sale.
Congratulations to owners Belinda Bateman, Rob Love, Fergus Doyle, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, John & Fran Ingham, Gary Diamond, Danny & Pauline Saab.
