MELBOURNE – Jockey Craig Newitt has turned back the clock when he guided Sydney visitor Caballus to an upset win in the A$2 million (S$1.79 million) Group 1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on March 7.

Nicknamed “Froggy”, the Australian hoop’s triumph in the famous sprint down the Flemington straight 1,200m course was his first at Group 1 level since 2016 when Extreme Choice won the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1,000m) at Moonee Valley.
