First Rios Runner in Australia a winner

17 April 2015

Rios

Rios’ very first runner in Australia Go By Rio did his sire proud as his very first winner in that region last Saturday.

Trained by Dan O’Sullivan, Go By Rio staged a big run to win at Bendigo over 1600m.

The successful 3yo is raced by GJR Wheeler and DF Wheeler.

Mr GJR Wheeler purchased Go By Rio off Anistay Lodge at the 2013 NZB Ready To Run Sale for $22,000.

All told Rios has now had 6 runners for the three winners Gaultier (Gr.1 winner of the Levin Classic), Happy Place and Go By Rio.
