Race 8 Strathayr Handicap

The feature event resulted in a boilover with the consistent mare Piavonic proving too good for Sunline on the day having an edge in fitness. Sunline was far from disgraced having been on the pace for the entire race and battling on well to hold second place from the smart Falvelon who enjoyed an easier run. Marstic and Weasel Will ran on well to finish just behind the placegetters. The next time Sunline steps onto the track she will be far more difficult to beat. The win of Piavonic gave Tony Noonan his first Group 1 winner as a trainer. Celebrations were dampened slightly when the stewards gave notice that Piavonic must behave well in a barrier trial before she is allowed to race again after her "unruly behaviour" at the barrier before the start.
