Outback Barbie sizzles
OUTBACK Barbie torched the clock in a spectacular 9½length trial win over 1000m on the Gold Coast yesterday.
Ridden by Jim Byrne, Outback Barbie ran a second faster than stablemate Ef Troop, who won his heat by three lengths under Jeff Lloyd.
The pair will run in the Reisling Stakes and Todman Trial respectively at Rosehill next Saturday in a bid to confirm themselves as legitimate Golden Slipper contenders.
“She’s pretty special. She’s just got stronger all the way through. I expect her to be extremely competitive in Sydney,” Byrne said.
