With Sam McGuren heading down the highway to Taree today in search of another winner it is time we review the most recent winner for the stable.
It was at Grafton’s first meeting back for the new season when one of the stable favourites Jewels Statement scored an impressive victory in the BM66 1200m.
Jewels Statement had been very unlucky at her previous two starts at the Grafton Carnival and on Coffs Harbour Cup day.
This time under the guidance of Ben Looker Jewels Statement was clearly the best to begin but Looker from a bad gate was happy to take his medicine and go back worse than midfield to find cover.
When in the straight Looker had some difficulty finding clear air but once in the open Jewels Statement sprinted quickly to win with plenty of authority.
To add even more to the win the race was named in honour of Samantha McGuren being the leading Grafton based trainer for the previous racing season.
