Second season sire Alabama Express sired a pair of three-year-old winners at Cranbourne on Thursday.
Chris Waller-trained filly Eagle Express took her record to two wins from 11 starts with her 0.46l victory. She is the first foal of unraced Crowned Eagle (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}) who is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Go Indy Go (Bernardini {USA}), and Gr.3-winning pair of Air Assault (Justify {USA}) and Essay Raider (Bernardini {USA}).
Eagle Express becomes the sixth winner bred by Yulong this week, including four two-years old. An incredible achievement for the team!
Earlier on the card, Julius Sandhu-trained three-year-old filly Gentle Steel broke her maiden at the second time of asking, winning by 1.5l in the 1200 metre contest.
