Recent Mystic Journey Stakes runnings
- In a race that changed dramatically over the final 100m, Newitt launched down the centre of the track on the David and Coral Feek-trained Belsielle. The five-year-old daughter of Brazen Beau came from well back in the field after copping interference in a rough house race. With just two of the 13 runners behind her with 250m to run, Belsielle overpowered the Super One mare Embeller by a length and a quarter, with the Stryker mare Sirene Strykera a half-neck back in third.
- It was a case of mission accomplished for South Australian mare Zoushine when she delivered a career-best effort to win the Group 3 Bow Mistress. The Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained four-year-old went into the race first-up from a spell with only a trial at Morphettville to her credit before making the trip across Bass Strait. Zoushine ($7.50) was ridden by Barend Vorster who had the mare caught three-wide early but managed to find a spot and when he asked her for the big effort in the straight, she charged home and had a half-length to spare over Award Winner ($11) with Bons Abroad ($6.50) to make it an all-interstate trifecta.
- Despite the small field of six, the Lloyd Kennewell-trained Ethical Solution was desperate for a run in the home straight, but when it appeared she sprinted clear with the Bow Mistress Trophy. Having donned the famous silks of her sire Shamus Award, the mare made the trip across Bass Strait worth it for the Victorian-based trainer. Having gone stride for stride with fellow Victorian Street Icon, Ethical Solution managed to sustain her sprint and kicked clear inside the final 100m and won going away from her rivals. She managed to put two lengths on Street Icon, with a further four lengths back to Runaway Girl in third place which signified the brutality of the win.
- It is not very often that the Lindsey Park stables send their horses across the Bass Strait, but in 2020 they did so with success when Zargos claimed the Bow Mistress Trophy. Having been sent around as a $14 chance, the mare managed to outsprint market elects Deroche and Twitchy Frank under a well-timed steer from Blaike McDougall. Having weaved a passage through the field in the home straight, the Hayes & Dabernig-trained mare packed plenty late to hold off the fast finish Deroche by a length.
- After jumping away sharply from the outside it was only a matter of how far for Life On The Wire. The star galloper raced just outside the speed early on before streaking away at the top of the straight to record a strong win ahead of the fast finishing Speedonova and Twitchy Frank.
- Gogo Grace was one of the favoured runners heading into the 2018 Bow Mistress and mare didn’t let the backers down. Settling in the middle of the field for the majority of the race, Dean Yendall unleashed the mare not long after the 400m and Gogo Grace steamed away, recording a 4.5 length victory.
- Ocean Embers was heavily-backed in the lead-up to the 2017 Bow Mistress and it proved to be the right move from punters. Jockey Jason Bendow settled the quality runner at the tail of the field before he pulled it wide and launched with a big run to down race-favourite and Darren Weir-trained runner Lyuba near the line. The win saw a return to form for Ocean Embers which showed great promise in Victoria last year. We talked to winning trainer Shea Eden before the race.
- Trainer Nikki Burke saluted with Nautical in the latest Bow Mistress, despite going off her food in the day’s prior to the race, since arriving in Hobart from Melbourne. Brad Rawiller steered Nautical with a perfectly timed run, beating home the previous year’s winner I Love It by a nose, with Erin’s Element $11, finishing strongly to claim third.
