No Fear, Corporal Jones and Maciano have just looked awesome at lower levels. They all have strong stamina pedigrees and just look so good.

Maciano is Redoute's Choice - Popsy. Popsy was the last filly to win the Derby, in 1995. He cost $1.5 million as a yearling, and that's already looking like good value!
Thanks for the history. I've only followed racing since 2004 and NZ only after you showed up here (yea! ) so I have no clue about any of it... had never even heard of Popsy, etc.
