SOLZHENITSYN4g : Trainer - Richard & Chris Otto8 starts : 3 wins : 2 placesWin distance range : 1200mTrack conditions won on : Fast/GoodThis bloke possesses a big finish and this trait will assist him greatly as he eases himself through the grades. The sprinting son of St Petersburg lined up at Ellerslie on Boxing Day in the hands of James McDonald and the combination were very impressive. They settled well back in the field prior to looming up wide on the final bend. The horse did the rest and finished powerfully for a relatively comfortable victory. This completed a brace of Ellerslie successes for both horse and rider.
