1 Nov 2019A gallant Brandenburg has again covered himself in glory in a prestige race with a runner-up finish in the Gr.3 Carbine Club Stakes.
The son of Burgundy had also finished second at his previous run in the Gr.2 Stan Fox Stakes.
On Saturday, the John Sargent-trained three-year-old settled toward the back of the field under Dwayne Dunn.
They improved wide on the turn and Brandenburg finished relentlessly for his placing.
The colt has been a model of consistency this preparation with three seconds and a breakthrough win to his credit.
Brandenburg is a son of the Galileo mare Wansesingyee and was bred by Hunterville identity Christopher Grace.
The dam is out of a half-sister to the Sargent-trained Listed McKell Cup winner Luvuleo.
