Yulong Newmarket Handicap (Group 1)

THE Bjorn Baker-trained Caballus sprung a 20/1 surprise at Flemington on Saturday, leading all the way to claim the A$2 million Group 1 Newmarket Handicap down the ‘straight six’. Ridden positively by Craig Newitt, the field uncharacteristically all came to the inside fence, handing Caballus, from barrier 1, the most direct route to the line.
