Peter Morgan and Outspoken Spirit trained by Colin and Cindy Alderson and today Brent won another raceSpirited Hero, bred by Brent at Supreme Thoroughbred Farm at Kilmore brained them (according to the commentator) in the first race at Sale over 1210m. 
Ridden by Dan Brereton, this Bel Esprit gelding sat on the fence behind the leaders till the turn and when the opening came, raced away to win by five lengths. This fella is also trained by Colin and Cindy Alderson.
This story is special because Brent formed a partnership with Neil Shaw and the first horse they bought was a broodmare, Snow Hero who they sent to Bel Esprit and now they have bred their first winner.
The owners are Supreme T'Bred Syn, Tripler Group Syn, C Bisazza, P Simari, T Larosa, Micallef Racing Syn, W Vandenham, C Vrantsis, SSS Racing Syn & G Butera and Spirited Hero's next start could by at Moonee Valley who will host the next event in the Inglis Race Series, with a $100,000 Bonus up for grabs in the two-year-old event on July 11

THE PUNTERS HERO
What a performance! Although Spirited Hero was making his debut at Sale yesterday (22 June) and had no public trial form to speak of, bookies had kept a watchful eye.
No wonder they’ve got so much money.
When the Bel Esprit 2YO made his way to the starting gates, he was a firm second favourite at $3, but ended up racing like an odds on pop.
Despite jumping second last, Danny Brereton didn’t spend a penny and had the first starter tucking the rail and racing with the leaders turning for home.
From there the race was never in doubt and Spirited Hero zoomed away to score by five lengths. Click here for a full replay.
Bred by Eliza Park’s stallion manager, Brent Grayling, and Neil Shaw, Spirited Hero is out of the multiple stakesplaced True Hero mare, Snow Hero (7 wins).
This is also the family of Oakleigh Plate-G1 winner Coal Pak and Group Two winner Beau Heed.
Sold through the Eliza Park draft at last year’s Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale, Spirited Hero was knocked down to the very astute Colin Alderson, who paid $95,000 for the privilege.
Spirited Hero is clearly above average and is now likely to target the $100,000 Inglis race at Seymour on 23 August.
Chances are you won’t be getting $3 for him next time he starts!

Another Brilliant 2YO for Bel Esprit
Tara Madgwick - Tuesday, 23 June 2009
Eliza Park based Bel Esprit has enjoyed a good season with some very smart juveniles including unbeaten filly Black Caviar and added another impressive debut winner to the tally when Spirited Hero romped in at Sale on Monday to score by five lengths.
Eliza Park based Bel Esprit has enjoyed a good season with some very smart juveniles including unbeaten filly Black Caviar and added another impressive debut winner to the tally when Spirited Hero romped in at Sale on Monday to score by five lengths.
A $95,000 purchase from the Eliza Park draft at the 2008 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale for his trainers Colin and Cindy Alderson, Spirited Hero is the third foal of the former very smart racemare Snow Hero.A winner of seven races and nearly $200,000 in prizemoney, Snow Hero was Group Two placed in the STC Queen of the Turf Stakes, the race now upgraded to Group One status.
Spirited Hero will stay in work to take advantage of the next event in the lucrative Inglis race series, with a $100,000 bonus attached to the juvenile event to be run at Moonee Valley on July 11.
Spirited Hero is one of 74 winners this season for Bel Esprit , who has progeny earnings in excess of $2.5 million and posted his first Group One winner when Bel Mer took out the SAJC Robert Sangster Stakes.
With a reduced fee this spring of $16,500, Bel Esprit ranks as one of the best value sires anywhere in Australia when you consider he will have the benefit of a massive EI spike that is likely to keep him riding high in the sires tables for many years to come.
