Sons Of John has made it back-to-back wins at Newcastle on Tuesday with the son of Oratorio accounting for his rivals comfortably in the $22,000 Yellowglen Class 1 Handicap (1500m).
15 days after his maiden win at Muswellbrook when leading all of the way at the short-odds of $1.70 with Kody Nester aboard – different tactics were taken on Tuesday settling midfield from a middle barrier before running away for a half-length victory ahead at Rockabill.
At just this smart gallopers fourth career start he had been close to claiming the prize in his previous two events finishing second at Bathurst and third at Wyong – hot on the winners heals.
Owned and bred by the Kelly family Sons Of John is from the smart metropolitan mare Mountain Echo who was a winner of four races.
The future looks bright for Sons Of John and we look forward to getting him out further in distance.
