CAREER HIGHLIGHT Won the Scone 2YO Challenge on debut

VEGAS RAIDER made a fairytale start to his racing career for trainer David Pfieffer, storming home from the tail of the field to win the big-money $200,000 Inglis 2YO Challenge (1100m) on debut at Scone in May, 2022.

Purchased from the Inglis HTBA Sale for just $38,000 just over 12 months earlier, VEGAS RAIDER provided his owners with an immediate return on investment with a handsome cheque for $136,750,

The barnstorming win was made all the more impressive by the fact that our boy jumped from the second widest gate, and the heavy track conditions made it very difficult to make up any ground on the leaders on the day.

But VEGAS RAIDER turned on the afterburners and peeled off some sizzling sectionals to round up his rivals and make the best possible start to his racing career.

He has continued to show ability with age with a further two wins including a tough front running display at metropolitan grade in NSW.
