Recent Bobbie Lewis Quality runnings
- Ben, Will & JD Hayes have enjoyed the back end of the 2024 Makybe Diva Stakes Day program, with Arkansaw Kid ($7) taking out the Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality 35 minutes after Mr Brightside claimed the feature race. Although he was beaten as an odds-on favourite at Moonee Valley last start, the son of Harry Angel has backed up after seven days to claim a tough win down the Flemington straight. Craig Newitt was legged aboard for his first ride on the four-year-old gelding, and he couldn’t have given him a better ride. Arkansaw Kid travelled well outside of Griff ($23) in the lead on the grandstand side, behind The Astrologist ($16), who ran alone on the inside rail, while Stretan Angel ($8) loomed up to challenge at the 300m mark. However, the eventual winner was left alone out in front as the other on-speed runners dropped off and the swoopers started to finish off on the outside fence. Skybird ($9), Right To Party ($3.60) and Buenos Noches ($5) all challenged Arkansaw Kid, but he was able to hold them off in the final 100m to claim a narrow victory.
- Clinton McDonald and Ben Melham have combined with Star Patrol ($4.40) clinging to victory in the Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m) at Flemington. It was race setup by tremendous pace on-speed as Najem Suhail ($6.50) sent forward, running his own race down the centre of the Flemington straight. It left the near-side group chasing a long way out, with Star Patrol the first to get on the bunny and kick clear. King Of Sparta ($6.00) and Benedetta ($2.60) were storming in behind with 200m to go; however, it was all to no avail with Star Patrol a game winner of the Group 2 feature.
- Having produced a peach of a steer to land the Makybe Diva Stakes on I’m Thunderstruck, Mark Zahra produced another pearler to land the Bobbie Lewis Quality on the Tony Gollan-trained Baller. With a majority of his rivals heading to the grandstand side of the Flemington straight, Zahra opted to stick close to the inside rail and had the horse underneath him to defy those runners in the apparent “superior ground”.
- Splintex had struggled around the turns at all his outings in Melbourne before McEvoy had a word to trainer Mark Newnham suggesting he would suit the Flemington straight and he certainly did when claiming the 2021 Bobbie Lewis Quality. Splintex built fitness with a solid fourth in the Group 3 Show County Stakes at Randwick a month prior before Newnham sent the stallion south. Jockey Craig Williams did the rest, getting the best of out Splintex to stave off the honest Away Game in the last 100m claiming the Group 2 event by a half-head.
- Zoutori defended his title in a thrilling $200,000 Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality, with just a half-length covering the first five across the line. Having tracked the speed throughout the six furlong event, Mark Zahra had the reigning champ building through the gears approaching the clock tower. Despite the close finish, it was Zoutori who sprinted the best for a second year in a row and became the first horse since Bon Hoffa in 2007-2008 to win the Bobbie Lewis Quality in consecutive years.
- Having been sent around as a $6 chance with online betting sites, the Mathew Ellerton & Simon Zahra-trained Zoutori deadset smashed his rivals in the Bobbie Lewis. He was seemingly travelling better than any of his rivals at the 300m mark, with jockey Linda Meech not asking for an effort from her mount until the final 250m. When asked to quicken, he did so with ease and managed to put a couple of lengths on the chasing brigade to record an easy win.
- Dothraki was one of the least favoured runners heading into the 2018 Bobby Lewis but the Peter and Paul Snowden galloper duly delivered in a tight finish. Racing up towards the speed for the majority of the race, the leaders eventually wilted but Dothraki fought on, gripping on to win in a tight finish ahead of the fast-finishing First Among Equals.
- Coming into a big race fresh paid dividends for Redkirk Warrior, who has made a habit of racing well first-up. Following the speed early doors, Redkirk Warrior took the front at the 400m and was never troubled, skipping out to a huge margin just after the 200m and nothing got near him.
- Faatinah scored a popular victory for punters when winning by 1.75 lengths. The Hayes/Dabernig-trained gelding was heavily backed into $4.30 late in the market and it never looked like being beaten as it took over mid-way down the Flemington straight. It ran a quick time of 1:09.13 over 1200m on a soft-rated track which is low-flying and it defeated a quality field which included Tivaci, Under The Louvre, Kinglike and Xtravagant. Read the race report here.
- Churchill Dancer handed New Zealand jockey Michael Dee his biggest career win in 2015. The Hayes/Dabernig-trained gelding was an each way chance in the betting at $8 and took advantage of a field which had no standout favourite. The favourite was Rich Enuff at $4.50 which finished sixth, but there was very good value on offer for the likes of Under The Louvre, Gregers and Lucky Hussler. It was one of the strongest and most-even Bobbie Lewis Quality fields ever assembled.
- Chautauqua wasn’t as well-performed back in 2014, which is why punters were able to get $5.50 for the Bobbie Lewis. That’s an incredible price and it showed them why it should never be disrespected in the market. The Hawkes-trained sprinter put 2.5 lengths on the field which included the group one-performed Temple Of Boom and Speediness. The weight of only 54kg helped the star sprinter and the win spring-boarded what was a stellar career.
- Speediness was an upset winner in 2013 when winning at odds of $21. The Colin Scott-trained gelding picked a path through the field and went clear in the run to the line to give Temple Of Boom another second placing. The $18,000 sales purchase was a great buy for the owners and it relished not having to go around a turn down the Flemington straight. Among the beaten runners included the Peter Snowden-trained Albrecht and class horse Rebel Dane.
