Millard happy with Edict Of Nantes

The former Brett Crawford trained Edict Of Nantes now Norther Superstar arrived in Hong Kong as one of the highest rated horses imported in recent times and made his debut with a strong running sixth in the Class 1 Chavalier Cup at Sha Tin. 

Trainer Tony Millard was pleased with the performance of the dual South African Group 1 winner Northern Superstar, who hadn’t raced since December 2017.

 

“It was a very good run. He finished off very strongly just with hands and heels. He was three wide and really it was an amazing run for his first of the season and after a year off. We’ll go for the big race (Hong Kong Cup) and we’ll see. Two-week is not ideal but we’ll do our best. Whatever happens, he is going to have a say in what happens for the rest of the season,” Millard said.
