“I do think this mare gone to a new level this prep..." Can Rob Heathcote's star mare Abounding claim her first Group 1 in Saturday's Empire Rose at Flemington? 🌹 @FirstLight_FLR @Woodside_Park @TelemonThoroug1 @mmsnippets anzbloodstocknews.com/heathcote-has-…

🟡🔵 FEAR NO EVIL resumes with a bang 💥 This talented gelding made it look so effortless, winning with ease thanks to Nash’s magic ride 👏🏼 🏆 @FirstLight_FLR @KarakaChat @nashhot

Fantastic way to cap off the day with a treble, winning aboard Abounding! She was brilliant once she let down and proved too good. I’m really pleased for Rob - it’s been a terrific day for his team - and to @FirstLight_FLR and their clients, this success is thoroughly deserved. Congratulations all round!

Another thriller to close out a memorable Caulfield Cup program with a slashing performance from Abounding to capture the Group 2 Tristarc Stakes over 1400m. Already a 3-time Listed winner – including the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas – and Group 1 placed, Abounding has 6 overall with 12 placings from 27 starts … AND over $2.7 million in prizemoney. A 2nd major today for Queensland trainer Rob Heathcote (whose Rothfire won the $2 million Sydney Stakes), Abounding is by @Woodside_Park’s Rich Enuff (9 stakes winners). Abounding was sold by @TelemonThoroug1 to @FirstLight_FLR / Robert Heathcote Racing for $75,000 at the 2022 Gold Coast Magic Millions Yearling Sale. #ItPaysToBuyAustralian @mmsnippets @MelbRacingClub

Abounding caps off a brilliant Caulfield Cup Day! Blake Shinn with a double and Robert Heathcote with feature wins in Sydney and Melbourne, a day to remember 👏

A dominant victory by Surfin’ Bird, putting a real gap on the field! Exciting times ahead with bigger spring targets in sight. Congratulations to @FirstLight_FLR and @GaiWaterhouse1! #gnarlywin
