ANOTHER STAR FOR GOOD JOURNEY


GJ HAS ANOTHER WINNER IN AUSTRALIA. He has a giant 17.2 hand 3 year old gelding named "Miles Above."


Miles Above scored a scintillating last to first win at Sandown in September. Trained at Camperdown by Dennis Daffy, Miles Above walked out of the gates and tailed the field throughout before sweeping home with a powerhouse burst to take the 1500 metre (7.5 furlongs) Ratings 68 event by a length. The win followed on from an equally impressive maiden victory at Bendigo on August 7, his second run following a debut fourth at Hamilton on July 20.“That was a big performance after missing the kick, although knowing the horse as I do I always thought he’d power home,” said Daffy, who purchased Miles Above for just $20,000 at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
