Aaron Bain Racing | Aaron Bain News 62121 Warm Breeze

Former New Zealand galloper Warm Breeze made it two wins in a row for Aaron Bain Racing with an all-the-way win at Sportsbet Gawler on the King’s Birthday holiday on Monday, June 9.

Ridden by Jason Holder, Warm Breeze ($3.50) sat wide from gate seven seeking the best going on the heavy nine track surface and repelled his rivals to win the Matrix Solar Solutions Class One Handicap (1100m).

The five-year-old prevailed by 1-1/4 lengths from Tara Rani ($51) with Scandalist ($3.60), three-quarters of a length away third.

Carrying topweight of 60kg, the gelding controlled the tempo and was never seriously challenged in the home straight.

Trainers Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor along with Racing Manager Will O’Malley have opted to wait for the suitable races for Warm Breeze.

“Breeder and owner Graham Court sent him across to see if we could place him to advantage,” Aaron Bain said.

“We found the right maiden at Murray Bridge, then today he was well suited at Gawler.

“He is improving in his second preparation for ABR.

“There is no doubt he also liked the heavy track today.

“It was a good positive ride by Jason which ensured the victory.”

Winning jockey Jason Holder said Warm Breeze had backed up his maiden win in good style.

“Warm Breeze gave me another nice winner for ABR,” Holder said.

“He backed up his effort at Murray Bridge which was good.

“He jumped out well and I rode him where he was happy.

“I rode him like he was the best horse in the race.

“He wanted to wait for them in the home straight but did enough to win well.”
