(Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Smokin’ Romans will be seeking a return to form as he lines up for a 2000-metre challenge at Flemington this Saturday. The seven-year-old clinched the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) back in 2022 and is now aiming for his first victory since that memorable Group 1 win. “He’s been up at Ballarat and is coming off a slow build-up,” said Jack Turnbull, assistant to trainer Ciaron Maher. “He had a long spell over summer after a couple of heavy seasons, and this campaign, being winter, we’re trying to get some confidence back and he’s brimming with confidence. I know he hasn’t won, but he’s hit the board a couple of times, and every time Jaylah (Kennedy, who rides again on Saturday) gets off him, she’s just rapt with how well he’s going.” Watch Smokin’ Romans win the 2022 Turnbull Stakes Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
