It’s a WS sire quinella in the Listed Canberra Guineas 🙌🏻 3YO Savabeel filly, Avebury (ex O’Dianne) races clear to claim a classy first stakes victory under @KPMcEvoy for @johnoshearacing, with Tivaci’s daughter Wolverine in second. Bred on-farm, she was a $200k @magicmillions GC buy for her trainer. Congratulations to all involved 🥳
