| George Ryder Stakes G1 3U OPEN ($1,007,000), 1500m 1:31.48 | |
| Race Synopsis: Champion mare Winx took her amazing record to 24 successive wins, which includes a record 17 at Group One level, in scoring what looked a hard fought victory at her second run this preparation. She settled back in second last place in the six-horse field, tracking a moderate tempo on the Soft 7 track. Hugh Bowman moved her up nicely (wide) at the pace picked up from the 600m, she challenged at the 200m, gradually got the upper hand in the sprint-home (last 600m 34.06) to score by just under a length in a very game performance. Happy Clapper travelled well behind the leader (Invincible Gem), challenged strongly at the 200m and fought really well for a very good second. Randwick Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Kementari raced in fourth place, improved from the 300m, got to third at the 100m and battled on well for third in a most creditable performance in this high class event. Crack Me Up made late ground to take (4.5 lengths) fourth, narrowly in front of Invincible Gem, who ran a bold race in the lead before finishing (4.6 lengths) fifth with Clearly Innocent far from disgraced in finishing (5.4 lengths) last. | |
