El Dorado’s fourth birthday might be fast approaching, but the resurgent Victorian National Sprint contender is thriving in his ‘golden’ years.
Postman Pat, Amron Boy and Baby Jaycee were the headline acts leading into last Saturday night’s state National Sprint heats at The Meadows, but El Dorado stole the show, continuing his remarkable late career renaissance.
El Dorado extended his winning streak to four, each victory coming at The Meadows, with a dominant performance in the second of three heats, leading throughout in a Best Of Night 29.78sec.
The prolific speedster started $7.30 but left Melbourne Cup winner Yachi Bale and favourite Baby Jaycee in his wake in a performance astute Blind Bight trainer/breeder Daryl Holmes rated up with the very best of his 24 career wins.
