Darby's Kiwi blueprint delivers another feature winner
Australian syndicator Darby Racing has enjoyed another major return from its New Zealand buying strategy, with Thebudgiesmugla (NZ) (Redwood) continuing his rapid rise through the staying ranks.
The New Zealand-bred son of Redwood has been a revelation since joining Bjorn Baker's Warwick Farm stable, with his dominant victory in Saturday's Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m) further strengthening Darby Racing's faith in sourcing tried horses from across the Tasman.
Thebudgiesmugla has now won seven of his 13 starts and remains unbeaten in five attempts over 2400m, having also claimed the Listed Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Rosehill at his previous start.
