CENTENARIO LOOKS EARLY STANDOUT 2YO IN AUSTRALIA

American Ideal’s son Centenario is clearly the best freshman among his peers as the season unfolds. He remains undefeated following his victory in the ‘Shakamaker Classic’ at Melton. Sitting in the chair, he deposed of his rivals in classy fashion. The Benstud bred and raised juvenile is bred on the same cross as millionaire pacer Soho Tribeca and now looms as the horse to beat in some key juvenile racing in the coming months.
