Horse 5: Amphitrite

#5 Amphitrite
Prior to the leaderboard blackout, @lindsayparkrace’s filly Amphitrite was sitting just outside the top 10, but a stellar victory last weekend at @flemingtonvrc in the @tabcomau Vanity no doubt helped cement her fifth-place ranking (5,784 votes). pic.twitter.com/cWtelKsMJK

Foundry’s connections have worked hard to rally support and it’s paid off. The lightly-raced 9YO gelding finished 6th in the polls (5,558 votes). With great bloodlines and a Group One to his name, Terry Kelly’s team is confident he’s up to the task of the #AllStarMile! pic.twitter.com/amHZkphVN9
