Smokey scorches in St Leger heats

Brilliant speedster Zambora Smokey predictably stole the show as Jason Thompson claimed a double in Friday night’s heats of the Group 3 Warragul St Leger (460m).

Zambora Smokey came into the heats of the $25,000 to-the-winner St Leger after finishing sixth to Australia’s number one sprinter Simon Told Helen in the Group 1 Maturity Classic last weekend.

Unbeaten in two previous Warragul appearances, including a near-record 25.37s performance last month, only .03s outside former Thompson-trained superstar Aston Dee Bee’s course record, Zambora Smokey stifled betting on the opening heat, starting at $1.20 from box two.
