Lees happy to have Hathras tackle best The outside draw and gigantic rise in class do not worry Kris Lees with imported stayer Hathras heading into The BMW at Rosehill on Saturday. The group 1 is a long way from his nine-length romp over 2200 metres at Warwick Farm last Thursday week. "The way he has been winning and the times he has been running suggest he deserved his crack at this level," Lees said. The barrier won't hurt his chances because he will roll forward. I'm sure he can run a bit of a race. Hathras was won two of his three starts for Lees since arriving in Australia. He was rated a $9 chance by tab.com.au. Chris Roots Little brother has Newmarket abuzz Talk about royalty! Black Caviar's kid brother is receiving the full treatment in the countdown as his anticipated $3 million-plus sale at Inglis Bloodstock's Easter Yearling Sale at Newmarket next Tuesday. The Redoute's Choice colt from Helsinge - Lot 131 - has his stall lined with rubber to prevent him injuring himself. He is the most talked-about yearling for decades, and an unprecedented crowd of onlookers is expected to see him go under the hammer. The colt is being sold by Three Bridges Thoroughbreds on behalf of Rick Jamieson's Gilgai Farm. John Holloway
