(Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) The Ciaron Maher-trained Light Infantry Man ($12) has dominated his rivals in Saturday’s Group 1 Northerly Stakes (1800m) at Ascot. Having finished 10th when favourite in the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) a fortnight ago, the son of Fast Company was sent around at an each-way quote and made amends in fine fashion. Sent forward from barrier, Ethan Brown had the five-year-old gelding settled outside natural frontrunner Marocchino throughout. On the back of a softly run 1800m affair, the race was run to suit Light Infantry Man perfectly, and when asked to quicken early in the home straight, he put a couple of lengths on his rivals in quick fashion. Outside of $151 shot Admiration Express, there was to be no dangers in the shadows of the winning post as the former European added a second win on Australian soil after saluting during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. 2024 Group 1 Northerly Stakes Replay – Light Infantry Man https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Ascot-2024-Group-1-Northerly-Stakes-07122024-Light-Infantry-Man-Ciaron-Maher-Ethan-Brown.mp4 Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
