A Grand winner by Changeover

The Changeover gelding Justanextragrand further underlined his potential when he won the SA Sires Produce Stakes at Globe Derby Park on Saturday night (October 16).

The three-year-old pinged straight to the front and, after being sternly tested in the middle stages, ran out a convincing winner in a career-best 1:56.9 for 1800 metres.

It was his fourth success on end and his seventh from 14 starts this season.

Smooth Overarm, a New Zealand-bred son of Changeover, emerged successful at his first start on Australian soil at the Bathurst midweek meeting, leading from end-to-end and earning a new speed badge of 1:55.4. He has now won 10 races.

Other recent winners by Changeover have been Honour Before Glory NZ, a winner in 1:56.6 at Shepparton, Overpowering (2:00, Globe Derby Park) and Jimmy Arma (Oamaru, NZ).
Changeover, who has sired the winners of $1.1 million in Australia this season, stands at Burwood Stud in Queensland.
