Caulfield
- Rubiton Stakes Day - 12/01/02 INDEX |
|
Race 5 Zeditave Stakes (Listed) Race 6 Rubiton Stakes (Group 3) |
It was a beautiful sunny day at Caulfield for the first group race
contested under the auspices of the re-named Melbourne Racing Club (formerly the Victoria
Amateur Turf Club). A very strong breeze from the south gave the horses a tailwind down
the side of the course. This resulted in a new course record for the main event - the
Group 3 Rubiton Stakes over 1100 metres. The aptly named gelding Intelligent Star sizzled
over the sprint distance to record his 9th. win from 15 starts. He will now be tackling
the big league in the upcoming WFA events. The other feature - the Listed Zedative Stakes
for three-year-olds was won by the Freedman trained Barkada who by-passed the Magic
Millions three-year-old event on the Gold Coast in favour of this event. He will be
prominent in whatever he contests in the future. |
