Leading reinsman Nathan Jack has describe Classic Connection Fra filly Afternoon Breeze as an untapped talent after taking out the Bob Conroy 2yo Trotting Classic at Melton on Saturday (August 16).

“She is very untapped and the steering is not quite there just yet, but to pick them up late in 28.8 and still not quite get it right just goes to show how good she is going to be down the track,” Jack said.

Jack recalled he was intent on securing Afternoon Breeze at last year’s Nutrien Yearling Sales.

“Her mother is a sister to Callmethebreeze, and when I came out and won the Great Southern Star on him the night before the sales, if my arm needed twisting then that twisted it,” he said.

She’s got a pretty busy end to the season with the Nutrien, Breeders Crown and Vicbred.”

Afternoon Breeze is unbeaten in two starts and of three winners from three starters from Classic Connection’s first Australian crop.

TRACY The Jet also provided a feature win at Melton for our stallion roster, with the 3yo daughter of the now retired Love You Fra - the sire of Classic Connection - taking out The Holmfield.
