BEL SWITCH A SURE THING

Following the victory of Suitably Connected at Parkes on Sunday, Bel Esprit statistician Brian Donohoe pointed out that the 4YO wasn’t the first of the Champion Victorian Sire’s progeny to win first up for a new trainer.
Brian, who has a vast array of Bel Esprit data at his fingertips, reveals that no less than 17 sons and daughters have won at either their first or second start after switching stables.
Two of those runners – Esprit of Eve and Spirits in the Sky – were placed first up and promptly won at their next start!
