An impressive city winner with the MVL brand 🚀

MVL born & raised REGAL PROBLEM made it 2 from 2 this preparation after winning over 1250m at Randwick today. She knuckled down late after a tough run, and the sky is the limit for her.

A huge congratulations to owner Roger McFarlane, who is a long time and valued supporter of MVL, and Pride Racing for a great training performance.

The future is bright, as her half-brother by HAWAII FIVE OH is developing nicely on the farm.
