Tab Chipping Norton Stakes G1 3U OPEN ($605,000), 1600m 1:40.37 | |
Race Synopsis: Winx showed she is a true champion in taking her winning streak to 15 with another wonderful performance despite the Heavy9 track. Hugh Bowman settled her nicely in seventh place, one off the rails, before improving well nearing the home turn. She cruised to the front at 200m and then went on to win easily although appearing not to be appreciating the heavy conditions. The VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m) winner Lasqueti Spirit was urged in the early stages and soon crossed to the lead. She then fought back very well when overtaken at the 200m and held on well for second in an impressive second up effort. Who Shot Thebarman raced in sixth place, on the rails, got through to fourth at the 200m and kept battling on well for a really good first up third. The second favourite Hartnell had a good trip in fourth place before dropping out in the straight to finish (9 lengths) eighth, obviously resenting the Heavy9 track. |
