| George Ryder G1 3U OPEN ($1,007,000), 1500m 1:28.70 | |
| Race Synopsis: Winx was trapped a little wide in the early stages of the race in the second half of the field ,that forced Hugh Bowman to make a mid race move to settle the champion mare eventually in third position about four lengths from the tearaway leader Turn Me Loose, who set good early fractions. Winx cornered three wide in striking distance and was brought with her run, hitting the front at the 200m and fighting off the challenge of her stablemate Kermadec back towards the inside to draw away to a most taking victory. Kermadec was good in defeat. He raced in last position on the fence in the run before staying to the inside on turning for home. He challenged the winner briefly in the straight but could not match her late finishing for a game second. Press Statement raced in fourth position on the inside of Winx in the run. He stayed to the inside on turning for home, before laying out three to four horses off the fence in the straight. He battled on gamely for a good third. | |
