| XXXX Gold Newcastle Cup G3 OPEN ($179,900), 2300m 2:23.16 | |
| Race Synopsis: An all-imports’ finish. The British-bred Disclaimer travelled
well in seventh place before improving between runners nearing the
turn. He got a nice split on straightening, took the lead at the 300m and
he then drew away over the closing stages to score clearly by almost
two lengths. The USA import Brigantin was back about ninth at the
600m, got a run through at the 200m and kept making ground, without
threatening the winner, to grab second nearing the post. The Irish-bred
Wish Come True raced in second place to the home turn, challenged
at the 300m and kept battling on for third after seeming to have every
chance. Travolta led the field at quite a reasonable pace, holding the
lead until the 300m before finishing fourth, beaten two lengths. The
favourite Multilateral was handily placed most of the way. He was fifth
at the 600m, put in a brief run nearing the turn but then finished only
fairly to run (four lengths) seventh. | |
