Darley Classic G1 3U OPEN ($1,002,500), 1200m 1:10.25
Race Synopsis: Malaguerra, having his second start for new trainer Peter Gelagotis, took out his second Group One race in 21 starts having won the BTC Cup (Gr 1, 1200m) at Doomben in May. He settled nicely in fourth place, behind the leading group in the centre of the track. After a steady first 600m (35.96), he switched out to challenge. He got to the front at the 100m and then dug deep, holding on for a narrow but good win. The lightly raced four-year-old Spieth settled in second last place in the 12-horse field, got a split at the 200m and then finished particularly well for a close second, putting up a bold effort in stepping up to weight-forage here. He looks to have a very bright future. Fell Swoop was quickly away and raced close to the leader (Sheidel) before going to the front nearing the 200m. He then battled back strongly for a close-up third, his third placing in Group class in three runs this preparation. Multiple Group One winner Lankan Rupee, who was having only his second run in 12 months, had a good trip in fifth place, just behind the leaders. He looked a threat when he challenged at the 200m and then fought well for (1.8 lengths) fourth. Sheidel led the field to the 200m and did well against this strong class in holding on for (3.8 lengths) fifth. The Quarterback was near last, went to the rails side at the 200m and the fought on without threatening for (4.3 lengths) sixth. Our Boy Malachi finished tenth, after bleeding for the second time and will be barred from racing, bringing to end a remarkable career of 19 wins from 27 starts.
