R2 WARWICK FARM | 28 February 2015 |
Pro-Ride Skyline Stakes G2 2CG OPEN ($176,700), 1200m 1:10.68 | |
Race Synopsis: Godolphin-raced colt Exosphere laid claims for the Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) on 21 March with a most impressive win. He was slowly away, settled back in sixth place on the rails in the seven-horse field before switching wide run nearing the home turn. He showed a great turn of foot to dash clear on passing the 200m and then went on to score effortlessly by four lengths. Odyssey Moon was a handy third on the rails, got through on straightening and battled on quite well for second, having no chance with the winner. Wolf Cry was fourth to the 600m, made a wide run nearing the turn then kept fighting on to just grab third. Mogador, stablemate of the winner, raced outside the leader, went to the front at the home turn and battled on for fourth, just missing the minor placing in a photo.
