THE GALLOP
March Week One
PANDORA WINS THE WOOD MEMORIAL FOR STRIDE OF PERFECTION
In what looked to be an incredibly dramatic week, the run up to the Triple Crown began in tremendous style, with the three-year-old Stride of Perfection filly, Pandora, taking the Prep race over Sun King, Speak Easy and Black Magic. Kylie Silverstar looked absolutely ecstatic when she crossed over the line to win on the filly who's lines are something of the sort - it's hall of fame for this grade three filly, it's time to see what the future holds for her.
In other news this week, Riverview Acres got a surprise when their new three year old colt, Master Of Tides broke his maiden in the Swish Maiden Stakes on the first attempt against two year old filly Sweet Mimosa. In a pulsating finish to the race, Master Of Tides got his nose out in front of the filly to win. He is one to watch.
Supernatural got another great win under her belt winning the Sweet Stalker Memorial Stakes beating out Nightshade on the wire to win. Witch Creek's filly is looking great this season, there is no reason to say that she won't be doing well.
Crimson Fatalis won the G2 Safari Stakes over Maliah who placed for North Diamond Manor, Flashpoint and Apollo Bear.
Majestic Hero broke into Grade Two this week for Oceanic View Stables under jockey Clinton Ward.
Beyond The Lies also broke her maiden after a streak of thirds, and wins fourth time out. Fire It Up placed second behind the filly, Oceanic View must be happy, two horses graded up in a week.
Meritorious won the Alabama Stakes in a bid for the Triple Tiara by two lengths over Flaming Confidenza and StarFire. She is well on her way to becoming a serious contender in the Tiara. Will there be a Tiara winner to snatch the title off Paradise Island? We will soon find out.
Swift Stride Stables welcome a new addition to their stable this week, with Grade Four Racer, Radiation Therapy joining the team.
As well as a four year old, the team also bought a new arrival to arrive at weaning, out of Strictly Speaking. Sired by Immortal Flight, Jessie also known as Sweet Talker has been born and arrived safely. The filly is now three months old and doing very well, prancing round the paddocks along side her mom.
