On Oct 29th of last year, Redding Collery got into a bitter speed duel going 6 furlongs at AQU with a horse named Immortal Eyes - he won the speed duel - and held on to win the race. Immortal Eyes won a 100K stakes race going wire-to-wire at 4.5 furlongs a couple of races later.



RC is fast enough to run with just about any speed sprinter in the country - he's game enough to win a Grade 2 at 10fs despite running at a virtual sprint throughout - and he can rate kindly enough that if a jockey takes hold out of the gate .. he will respond to the restraint and could go 26 flat and 51 without getting too rank.

He's a pretty neat horse because he has so much stamina for a front-running sprinter.
