(Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Trainer Clinton McDonald is optimistic that Vestas can deliver another major victory for his stable when she lines up in the $3 million Magic Millions Sunlight (1100m) at the Gold Coast on Saturday. The daughter of Toronado announced herself with an impressive debut win at Cranbourne in October before finishing a strong second in the Group 3 Red Roses Stakes (1100m) at Flemington on November 7. Vestas recently sharpened up with a trial at the Gold Coast, leaving McDonald confident in her chances. “She trialled up at the Gold Coast last Tuesday and trialled beautifully,” McDonald told Racing.com. “She’s in great order, and I think she’ll give it one hell of a shake. “It’s been an amazing year. I’m very thankful to all the staff at home; they’ve done a great job, and all the owners that support us. “We’re very fortunate, for a small stable of 30, for the luck that we’ve had. We’ve had plenty of stakes wins and placings. “We’ve got a lot of nice, young horses coming through, so it’s exciting. Let’s hope we can get the Sunlight Classic next week with Vestas.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
