Julius

John Bell is in no doubt as to what the future holds for his towering sprinter Julius.
“He’s a Group horse most definitely,” the Cambridge trainer said. “We’ll look at the Concorde and the Darley and plan around those races.”
The Gr.3 Concorde Handicap (1200m) will be run on Saturday week with the Gr.3 Darley Plate (1200m) on March 3.
Both races will be held at Ellerslie where Julius thumped the open sprinters on Sunday when he resumed following a 10-month break.
“I’d like to see him when he’s fit,” said Bell, who has now produced the son of Swiss Ace to win four of his eight starts.
Westbury Stud will offer a half-brother (Lot 444) to Julius by Reliable Man at the Book 1 Sale at Karaka on January 28.
