Sincero and Ilovethiscity have joined fellow Inglis Sydney Classic Yearling Sale graduate Secret Admirer at the top of Epsom Handicap markets after running the quinella in the Group 1 ATC George Main Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill today.

Sincero ($8,000 2009 Classic, 4g Umatilla-Yours As Always) sat three wide near the rear for most of the Group 1 feature before peeling wide and fighting off Randwick Guineas winner Ilovethiscity to notch up his 11th win from 15 starts, taking his career earnings to $1,371,750.

Last season's Inglis Guineas/Stradbroke Hcp winner was having his first try at weight-for-age, and looks well on track for a crack at Australasia's premier weight-for-age event, the Group 1 MVRC W.S. Cox Plate, on October 22.

“He dug deep and just doesn’t know how to give up this horse”, Sincero’s trainer Chris Farley said.

“It’s a great lot of owners and we’re all just enjoying the ride.

“We’ll go to the Epsom then onto Melbourne”.

The son of Umatilla has given his connections a dream ride since being snapped up for a bargain $8,000 at the 2009 Inglis Sydney Classic Yearling Sale from the draft of Nerreman Stud of Forbes.
