Group 2 Win

Roman Consul Stakes

"They were hectic early,'' O'Dea said. "I can't say I wasn't worried in the first half of the race when he was off the bridle chasing.

"He was starting to struggle coming to the turn, but the run came on the fence and there was plenty of room there and he went through his gears.

"Usually with those horses off the bridle chasing the whole way they tend to peak on their runs but he has finished off very strongly.

"It really is satisfying to get this colt to come here first up as a three-year-old. He showed so much raw ability last 'prep' so for him to go on and do what he's done today was really pleasing.''

Sesar was able to run the 1200m in 1min 9.91sec despite the heavy track conditions, although jockey Jason Collett was also worried that some of his more highly fancied rivals might be too speedy for his colt.

Great result on Sunday for Steven O'dea Racing at the Sunshine Coast with Thornett saluting in the last race. Only second up and on the back of a great first up run, Thornett was aided by a perfectly timed ride from Damien Browne to land the prize right on the line.

Yes Tonight

Extremely satisfying day for the whole team at Steven O'dea Racing on Wednesday, with the highly talented mare Yes Tonight, breaking her maiden status at Doomben at just her third start. Only second up off almost a two year stint on the sidelines, Yes Tonight was given a 10/10 ride by Tiffani Brooker, box seating her from the gate before showing her superiority in the straight to claim an easy 2 length win. Congratulations to Proven Thoroughbreds and all the owners that have stuck solid with this mare while she was on the sidelines, hopefully bigger wins are in store now for this beautiful mare!

Francisca

Very pleasing day on Saturday for the team at Steven O'dea Racing, with the highly promising Francisca breaking her maiden status at the Gold Coast. Always held in high regard from the stable, Francisca had to overcome a little bit of traffic at the top of the straight, before jockey Jordan Mallyon weaved a path through and put the race to bed within a couple of strides, pulling away for a soft two length victory.
