THE GENERAL GOES FOR FOUR IN A ROW
BRITISH General lines up ,or a fourth consecutive success on metropolitan tracks at Caulfield on Saturday.
The difference this time is the location.
Ballarat trainer Dan O’Sullivan’s stable star has made a name for himself with a hat-trick of wins over 1400m at Flemington – the latest being the listed $120,000 Chester Manifold Stakes on January 12.
His record now stands at an impressive seven wins in 12 outings for $230,000.
Today’s assignment is the listed $120,000 John Dillion Stakes over his special distance of 1400m.
As he has been for the past three wins, Glen Boss will be in the saddle and rises 4kg to 58kg.
“We've raised the bar a long way and he's just kept stepping up,” O’Sullivan told Racing Victoria.
“I wouldn't say this was part of our early programming, but we've already exceeded what we thought we were going to do.
“He's won a listed race now so we'll go to another listed race and see what he can do,” he said.
O’Sullivan said British General had trained on really well.
“We've been in the same routine from last start to this start and he's drawn well again, so he ticks quite a few boxes again.”
