After a luckless run last start, IMPERIAL STATE goes one better at Tamworth, breaking through for his first victory since joining the stable and doing it in strong fashion on his home track.
Settling just off the speed, Mikayla Weir had him travelling sweetly throughout, poised to pounce the moment the field straightened.
Once she angled him into clear running and out to the centre of the track, he lengthened beautifully, absorbing the challenges around him before drawing away late and putting the race to bed.
A tough, professional performance and a rewarding result for everyone involved.
Congratulations to connections — a well‑deserved win and hopefully the first of many.
