Of A Revolution out of class for Gerry Skelton Memorial

OF A REVOLUTION, the American who made a spectacular local debut last Mouttet Mile Day, December 6, winning the Grade 1 Bruceontheloose Sprint, to which he added the SVREL Anniversary Stakes in March, also a Grade 1, has found a conditions loophole to face overnight-allowance runners in Saturday’s Gerry Skelton Memorial at five furlongs straight.

Embedded somewhere in the conditions book, after winning his second Grade 1 event in three months, March 7, a clause allowed OF A REVOLUTION to return off a three-month lay-up, carrying topweight 126lb against open-allowance runners in the Viceroy Trophy, labelled as a Grade1/Open Allowance.

Cut down by fellow American and stablemate SIR DON in the Viceroy at five and a half furlongs, OF A REVOLUTION finished down the track in July’s Grade 1 Diamond Mile after which he ran a creditable fourth, less than a month ago, August 15, behind speedsters PACK PLAYS, DOTHRAKI and CALIFORNIA CROWN in the None Such Sprint at six furlongs.
