Performances of note in the heats were Poster Boy 's win in the 2 year oid heat at Bendigo and Rocknroll Icon in his heat win at Kilmore. After a very quick lead time of 40.5 Chis Alford sent the Icon 3 wide in search of the lead. He won convincingly by 10.6 metres in 1.58.1 and is a special horse. Rocknroll Icon was an orphan foal and has on going nutritional needs which must be met and monitored to maintain peak fitness. Full credit to Emma and Clayton and the team for the care and attention given to our boy.

Poster Boy drew Barrier 8 in his Sires Stakes Heat at Bendigo on June 20. Chis Alford wasted no time in getting him away from the rail and into the running line , quickly finding the one out one back trail.
