Exciting 4yo colt Never No More is set to make his OTI debut this Saturday at Flemington.
International form of this colt is first class. A win in the Listed 2000 Guineas Trial (1400m) followed wins over 1000m and 1400m in restricted company.
The Trial win was followed by a 5th placed finish in the G1 Secretariat Stakes (1600m) at Arlington, USA. He then returned to Europe to finish 2nd behind multiple Group winner Sir Dancealot in the G2 Park Stakes (1400m) at Doncaster last September.
The son of No Nay Never was seen on local shores in The Golden Eagle (1500m) last spring, when formerly trained by Aidan O’Brien. It was after this that OTI moved to secure the promising entire.
Now under the care of Lindsey Smith, Never No More has progressed well through his initial training preparation. Drawn in barrier 12, Dean Yendall has been booked to ride in a 1000m Open Handicap.
The race has been chosen by Smith as the ideal starting point for a campaign that looks set to include the Listed Wangoom Handicap (1200m) at Warrnambool before a tilt at the G1 Goodwood (1200m) in South Australia.
Best of luck to all connections!
