Trainer Stuart Kendrick and his family have completed a rags to riches story with I’ve Bean There, selling the two-year-old originally purchased for just $13,000 to Hong Kong for a $900,000 bonanza.
I’ve Bean There looked like he was set to be a spring player in Australia, finishing fourth in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) which was won by Captivant at Randwick in April.
I’ve Bean There was only two lengths off the winner and only a neck behind third-placed Converge who went on to win the Group 1 JJ Atkins during the Queensland winter carnival.’
