T J Smith Stakes G1 3U OPEN ($2,614,500), 1200m 1:08.29 | |
Race Synopsis: The 2017 Golden Rose Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) winning colt Trapeze Artist took out his second Group One success in most impressive fashion here. He began well but was caught wide in sixth place (with cover), before moving up strongly rounding the home turn. He then sprinted quickly, hit the front at the 100m before drawing away to score by a decisive margin and in fast time (1:08.29). Favourite Redzel showed his renowned pace to lead, travelled well prior to dashing clear at the 300m. He then found the late-closing winner (whom he conceded 2kg) too good to finish second after running a bold race. In Her Time settled back in last place in the 11-horse field, went along the inner on straightening but was blocked shortly afterwards. She got along the rails from the 150m and made late ground to take a good third, looking somewhat unlucky. |
