The Listed SAJC Redelva Stakes (1100m) at Morphettville Racecourse on Saturday brought together a strong field of up-and-coming three-year-old sprinters, and it was the progressive King's Legacy gelding Regeneration who came out on top.
Trained by Anthony Freedman and Sam Freedman, Regeneration had been ultra-consistent heading in, placing in all five of his previous starts, including a solid third in the Blue Sapphire Stakes last spring.
He kicked off this prep with a sharp win at Caulfield Racecourse and arrived in Adelaide fit and ready to go, with Todd Pannell in the saddle.
Despite being easy in the market, Regeneration proved the punters wrong—finishing strongly to grab a narrow win over the more seasoned Group-winning colt Tycoon Star.
A $220,000 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale purchase for Anthony Freedman Racing and Byron Rogers from the Bhima Thoroughbreds draft, he’s now built a tidy record of three wins and three placings from just six starts, with prizemoney pushing past $165,000. With plenty of stakes options in Adelaide over the coming weeks, he looks well placed to keep that momentum going.
Congratulations to Byron Rogers and partners Simsy Racing, Mr S Chappell, Mr H De Jong, Mr C A Henschke, Dr C Rogers, Mr A E N Curtis and Lucky Six Racing
