Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist blew out the cobwebs at Broadmeadow this afternoon, ahead the spring racing season.
While it wasn’t an official trial, today’s run was designed to get the ageing horse used to racing again.
Jockey and connections were impressed with how the stayer has recovered from injury.
Protectionist faces a barrier trial next Monday before racing next month.
