| Coolmore Stud Stakes G1 3 OPEN ($1,002,500), 1200m 1:08.72 | |
| Race Synopsis: Last season's Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m) winner Sunlight took her highly consistent record to eight wins (with three placings) from 12 starts in taking out this Group 1 event, her first at the elite level. She was smartly away as usual, travelled kindly outside the leader (Written By), put pressure on that runner at the 300m, got to the front at the 100m and then fought back for a game win. The Chris Wallertrained colt Zousain had a good trip in fourth place, tracking the leaders, challenged strongly coming to the 100m and then battled on well for (long neck) second, his third second at Group 1 level in his last four starts. His stablemate Lean Mean Machine was a handy third, challenged at the 200m and kept fighting really well for a close up third in another smart performance. Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Written By was quickly away and went straight to the front. He was challenged at the 300m and then kept fighting back well for (1.4 lengths) fourth after going a little keenly in the early stages. | |
