A class 1 over 1400m at Newcastle on Tuesday was fought out by a pair of three-year-olds with stakes ambitions. The Freedman-trained ASTERN Colt BACKROWER went off a short-priced favourite and got the job done, against the willing and progressive Extreme Choice filly Wollombi. Backrower has now had 4 starts: 2 Wins, 1 Second, 1 Third. ASTERN is having a terrific run to start the new season. Backrower was the fifth (5th) Individual Winner for his sire in the first month of the new 2022-23 Racing Season and follows-on from ASTERN having two (2) Gr3 placed runners-up on Saturday with AFT CABIN and GOLDEN MILE plus a win by Miss Tapestry on Sunday and another placing of Astern’s Girl on Monday.
