On Tuesday afternoon, 1st March the provincial Kembla Grange meeting was transferred down the highway to Goulburn to escape the sodden track. Our Dynamic Syndications 3yo filly EXTREME GEM (Extreme Choice x Encosta Jewel) trained by Richard Freedman was to face the starter for the first time. Despite being inexperienced, and still having a lot to learn regarding racecraft, and knowing she is bred to want further than the 1200m of this debut trip, our filly was far too good for her peers with a very soft win.
