SMART YOUNGSTER RETURNS

We’ll be watching with special interest the return of promising 3yo colt Enchauffour at Geelong on Friday night (October 17).

The Yabby Dam Farms-bred and raced 3yo colt was a group 2 winner last season, taking out the Breeders Crown.

He last raced in May when fifth in the NSW Trotters Derby.

Another of our youngsters, YDF-bred and raced Perpetual also makes a return at Geelong.

The 3yo filly, the first foal out of French-bred Eternal, has raced just once in February.

AS a breeder, we’ll also have a close eye on two big features at Merton on Saturday night (October 18).

Derek The Jet and last-start Menangle winner Parisian Artiste contest the Group 1 Bill Collins Sprint and Tracy The Jet and Iron Women tackled the Group 1 Victoria Trotters Oaks.
