A tricky draw can’t dampen the hype around Jilliby Nitro, whose class-of-his-own heat run appears to have the latest Lee stable prodigy well-placed for Group 1 glory.
Reinsman Jason Lee said he “couldn’t be happier with” Jilliby Nitro ahead of Friday night’s $100,000 Bathurst Gold Crown Final, despite the two-year-old drawing outside the front row.
“He’s travelled up great and his run in the heat was really good,” Lee told RSN 927’s Gait Speed. “We’re really happy with the horse, a little bit disappointed with the barrier draw but the old saying goes it’s only a bad gate before the race.”
