VETERAN trainer Brian Francis is still churning out promising young pups. He looked to be on the right track when Hyacinthus won his maiden over the five hundred at Ipswich at just 21 months in August last year. Unfortunately, the son of Barcia Bale was unable to kick on as he spent over four months off the scene battling injury, eventually returning in a tough Novice Christmas-Eve at Albion Park. While he didn t figure in the placings there or his next run over the 395 the money came thick and fast for him back at Ipswich over the five hundred on Saturday night. He didn t disappoint.
