Exciting So You Think 2yo Political Debate is one of the best looking colts you would ever see and he has the talent to match, posting his first stakes victory at Eagle Farm on Saturday when casting off maiden status with a tough win in the Listed BRC the Phoenix (1500m). Ridden by James McDonald, Political Debate showed his inexperience by racing greenly after things did not go to plan but was still able to scrape home over Kiwi raider Sharp ‘n’ Smart. McDonald admitted he did not give Political Debate the run he was planning and found himself in front too far from home.
