Collingwood premiership coach Craig McRae added to his silverware collection on Saturday, becoming a Group 1-winning owner when Feroce roared to victory in the Australian Guineas. The ownership group of Feroce includes a wealth of AFL premiership success, with former Western Bulldogs premiership player Tory Dickson and two heroes from the Brisbane golden era of the early 2000s, Craig McRae and Justin Leppitsch, among the owners. Trainer Dominic Sutton expressed his elation after Feroce’s win, marking his first Group 1 victory. Feroce’s victory in the Australian Guineas adds to the rich history of the race, which is one of the premier three-year-old races on the Australian racing calendar, run over 1600 metres under set weights at the famous Flemington track during the Melbourne Autumn Carnival. The Guineas links extend to Feroce’s owners with former Western Bulldogs footballer Tory Dickson, who was a part-owner of Super Seth, among the ownership group. Feroce’s win in the Australian Guineas is a testament to the dedication and hard work of his connections, and it will be exciting to see what the future holds for this talented colt.
