Advanced Race Meet 21
The first race of the day, the Willomurra Purse, was a two horse race won by SMS Sky's On Fire, a Silver-Moon Studfarm colt by Northern Spur, out of Cassie's Gold. Cherox Park's CP Top Secret, an eight year old stallion, romped in second.
The Taralee Estates Stakes was run on wet turf, with a field of seven. EOS Jumper, the pre-race favorite, got off to a bad start, the wet ground not suiting him. He broke second to last from the gate. It was Wicked Lovely from Yankee's Secret, with War Front chasing them down after a few hundred meters, The Red Terror in close pursuit. Yankee's Secret and the tiring Wicked Lovely dropped back, finding the going rough. EOS Jumper put in a herculean effort on the wet turf to come up the outside, but finished half a length behind War Front, with The Red Terror one length back, the rest of the pack behind by eight lengths, led by TroubleInParadise. Dame de Pique had a rough time, boxed in by the pack, and ultimately couldn't break clear of the torn track.
The Invitational Stakes was on a muddy track, which didn't suit pre-race favorite Spectacular Dreams, but the aged mare still broke nicely from the gate, to romp in with an impressive lead of 9 lengths. In second was Day Dreamer, Dressed for Success behind, with Indy Storm coming in last to the post. The old mare appeared to outmatch her competition.
The Tare Reign Maiden was a blistering fast race on firm turf. Twilight's Dreamer was the pre-race favorite, but broke poorly from the gate, behind Anna's Speed and Back in a Flash. Back in a Flash struggled with the track, and was passed by Twilight's Dreamer. Anna's Speed and Twilight's Dreamer battled hard for the race, with Back in a Flash on their heels for the entire race. Anna's Speed won by a neck from Twilight's Dreamer, with Back in a Flash trailing by only two lengths.
Undecided and CP Hex All Klass ran an in-stable match race for Cherox Park on a fast track in the Bar Seven Purse. Undecided broke clean and fast, and dominated his stablemate, breezing in with a massive lead.
The Glen Valley Stakes, a G4 sprint, was won in a walk over by C. Winchcombe aboard Cherox Park's CP Spanish Lace. C. Winchcombe also walked to a win in the AWH Stakes trophy race aboard 14 year old stallion Jet Breeze. Winchcombe's easy day continued with walk over victories aboard Aaliyah, and Silver Prince* in the Arabian G3 and G4 races of the day.
Emory Oak Stables jockey A. Bilyeu rode to walk over victories in the McTaggert's Stakes and Speedy Bee Maiden aboard Ziyadah and Johar to finish up the day's racing.
