Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 19, 2023 Journalists Share Posted September 19, 2023 New Zealand-bred gelding Mr Brightside (NZ) has conquered all before him this spring and jockey Craig Williams has a warning for his rivals, believing the son of Bullbars is only going to improve. The six-year-old gelding has won all three of his starts this preparation, including the Gr.2 PB Lawrence Stakes (1400m) first-up, the Gr.1 Memsie Stakes (1400m), and last Saturday he doubled his elite-level tally this spring when victorious in the Gr.1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington. Williams has been impressed with the way the Ben, Will and JD Hayes-trained runner has performed, but believes there is still plenty of improvement yet to come from the exciting galloper. “He (Mr Brightside) is so exciting because what I felt on Saturday, I still think he has improvement to come in his looks department, in his coat,” Williams told Racing.com. “I think his coat can be a little bit finer coming into the warmer weather, if we get it, in Melbourne and even his attitude in the gates, he actually was a little bit cranky for him this preparation, so I know when he’s right on song, he covers all of those bases. “It’s pretty scary for his opposition but it’s pretty exciting for the Mr Brightside camp.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
