Tavistock’s hot streak in Australia continued in Victoria on Monday when the well-bred Walking Flying opened her account.

The Cambridge Stud stallion’s progeny are in a rich vein of form with six winners there in the last five days.
Walking Flying had finished in the money in all three of her previous runs for David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig.
The three-year-old’s Benalla victory credited the former top-class mare Veloce Bella with her third winner.
She was raced by Murray and Marg Hardy and Paddy Preston of the Sunlight Trust.
They also bred Walking Flying, who was sold to Yulong for A$120,000 at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale and is raced by Mr Huang, a close friend of Mr Yuesheng Zhang’s Yulong Investments.
Veloce Bella won 12 races, including the Gr.1 Waikato International Stakes and a further four times at Group Two level.
The daughter of Volksraad hails from the family of the stakes winner and multiple Group One placegetter Tiger Jones.
