However, he seems to have landed a great bunch of two-year-olds this season and runners from his yard look set to dominate the Grade 3 Langerman for juveniles at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth tomorrow.
Marshall has won this race on a number of occasions and one of those successes was One World in 2018.
He went on to win the Cape Town Met and was subsequently retired to stud. However, his presence will be felt in this year’s Langerman race as three of Marshall’s quartet of runners have been sired by One World.

The step up in trip is likely to unlock further improvement in One Stripe, who is good value to land the major spoils.

He looks to be the runner who will follow his stablemate home. Marshall’s two other runners are Talk To The Master and maiden Gnarly, who looks to be out of his depth in this field.
