Australian Bred Charge Forward Son Wins in NZ
Resuming from a 44 week layoff, Australian-bred 3YO gelding Gaston (Charge Forward ex Capto, by Octagonal) scored a 2 length victory over 1000m in NZ at just his second start yesterday.
Gaston was a $230,000 yearling consigned at the 2008 Inglis Easter Sale in Sydney.
He becomes the 9th individual first crop winner for Charge Forward adding to 7 Australian winners (including the stakes winner and G1 placed Headway and stakesplaced Carlton Forward) and Vilmart – a winner in Japan.
