| Tab Kingsford-Smith Cup G1 3U OPEN ($700,000), 1300m 1:15.51 | |
| Race Synopsis: The Bostonian followed his first-up victory in the Doomben 10,000 (Gr 1, 1200m) on May 11 with another really good effort in recording his second Group 1 success here, his ninth win in all from 16 starts. He was smartly away from his wide barrier (11) before Michael Cahill skilfully eased him to settle in fourth place on the rails, tracking a good tempo. He took a split coming to the 300m, went to the front at the 100m and then went on to win well and remain unbeaten in five Australian starts after an outstanding ride by Cahill. The $151 chance Princess Posh raced in tenth place on the rails, tracked the eventual winner from the 300m and finished off well for second, staging a good effort. The favourite Trekking had a nice trip from his inside barrier (1), racing in seventh place on the rails. He got between runners on straightening and kept running on well for third. Irithea went to the front, set a quick tempo, was only overtaken at the 100m and did very well in holding on for fourth, beaten a length, after running a bold race and at a quick pace. Two-year-old colt Dubious began well from his wide barrier (16), settled in sixth place (three wide with cover). He put in a good run coming to the 200m and then battled on really well for (1.5 lengths) fifth advancing to weight-for-age here. | |
