WILLIAM REID STAKES

(GROUP 1)

HELLBENT, a five-year-old son of I Am Invincible, broke through for a maiden Group 1 last Friday night at Moonee Valley in the 1,200-metre William Reid Stakes, stopping the clock just 0.7 seconds outside of Miss Andretti’s course record.

“The owners have let us put him where we’ve wanted to and there’s been a little bit of frustration there, but finally we’ve got the result that the horse deserves,” said trainer Darren Weir.

“He’ll find a home now, hopefully up at Yarraman (Stud). He’s an I Am Invincible colt, a beautiful looking horse with lots of ability, so he’s got plenty of things going for him.”
