Our Kylie can prove lucky, lucky, lucky for punters

Brian Ellison, consistently one of the best dual-purpose trainers in the game over the last 20 years, celebrated his 1,000th winner with Robero at Newmarket on Friday.

In many ways it was fitting that Robero brought up that wonderful landmark because he is the classic type of horse with which Ellison excels.

A master at maximising the potential of those who have tended to underachieve for other trainers, Robero was recording his third straight victory from just four starts since joining his new yard.
