He shaped fairly, though not in the brilliant fashion of his stable companion, Brendon, who will shortly make a reappearance over the jumps. Satrap’s New Zealand wins included the New Zealand St. Leger (Wellington) and Great Northern New Zealand Leger (Auckland), -and he also ran second that season with 5.6 to Star Stranger (9.2) in the Awapuni Gold Cup. As he is a gelding, and only five years old, there is no reason T why Satrap should not recover some of his galloping ability. If he does he v, ill make a lively hurdler.
