Always Be Batman storms to Junior Free-For-All win

The Robert and Jenna Dunn-trained Always Be Batman claimed his second stakes win in eight days with a well-timed run in the Group 2 Junior Free-For-All (2600m) at Addington on Cup Day.

Third on the rail for much of the trip, Always Be Batman was badly held up by a tiring Rubira with 300m to run, but once clear space opened up, he charged home up the inside to snatch victory by a neck over Iron Brigade.

It was the 4-year-old son of Always B Miki’s ninth career win, taking his earnings to $144,328.

Bred by Paul Bielby, Always B Batman is out of the Art Major mare Flying Anvil.
