New Zealand Racing, 2012-13

[my miss storm cat]

Stupid question and I know the very nice winning streak Brave Centaur has going right now (and like him very very much!) but it seems a little strange to see his name in with this group.

I know it's his first G1 (at least i think so!) but (and forgive my dumb question) but is this his first stakes race?

I mean no disrespect and like i said I like him... he knows how to win (!)... but I just can't remember him facing horses of this level.
