The Chris Waller-trained Bold Mac (NZ) (The Bold One) ran out a strong winner of the Robrick Lodge Eremein Handicap (1800m) at Randwick on Saturday under a confident ride by apprentice Zac Lloyd.
The former Kiwi galloper sat in midfield and when presented at the top of the straight found a good kick to score by half a length.
The son of The Bold One led home a New Zealand-bred trifecta, with Mach Schnell (NZ) (Zacinto) and King Of The Castle (NZ) (Castledale) filling the placings.
The winner of three of his nine starts in New Zealand prior to joining Waller, Bold Mac was bred by Bernie Gudsell, who races the gelding with members of his extended family plus his original trainer Colin Cromarty.
Now the winner of six of his 24 lifetime starts with a further seven placings, Bold Mac has banked A$412,894 in prizemoney.
Bold Mac’s sire The Bold One is an impeccably bred son of Fastnet Rock and Group One winner The Jewel (NZ) (O’Reilly) and stands at Grangewilliam Stud for a fee of $4,000 plus GST.
Bold Mac is out of the useful racemare Mrs Mac (NZ), a half sister to seven race winner Zumba (NZ) (No Excuse Needed).
