Stradivarius on song

Well-related colt Stradivarius will be chasing more black type for his family at Otaki on Saturday. The Lee Somervell-trained Ryder Stakes contender is a brother to the Railway Stakes winner Fleur de Lune. “He’s right out of the top drawer and he’s getting better all the time,” Somervell said. Stradivarius won first time out at Rotorua and at his most recent appearance he finished runner-up to Amarula at Ruakaka.
