Recent Scarborough Stakes results

  • High-class filly Bellatrix Star displayed her versatility when usurping the Scarborough Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on a Good 4 surface. The Mark Walker-trained three-year-old was sent out a $9.50 chance with horse racing bookmakers by punters with her previous Listed Cap D’Antibes (1100m) victory at Flemington coming on a rain-affected surface. Jockey Michael Dee was able to get Bellatrix Star into a stalking position just off the leader in the three-year-old fillies contest before swooping in the home straight to score a comfortable three-quarters of a length victory from Tasmanian filly Geegees Mistruth, with Tobeornottobe back in third.
  • Coeur Volante ($9.50) has took out the Group 3 Scarborough Stakes at Moonee Valley, after receiving a cool, patient ride from Blake Shinn in the last race on the program. After jumping from barrier three, Shinn found the rail on the eventual winner and everyone could see her trucking up behind the leading trio on the home bend, searching for a run to appear. Shinn took his time and allowed the daughter of Proisir to find her feet before bursting through a gap on the inside of the leader Inhibitions ($12.00), before racing clear for a nice win over Inhibitions and the fast-finishing Bossy Nic ($19.00). The race favourites Skirt The Law ($3.60) and Shesallshenanigans ($4.00) had their chance in the race but they battled away on the inside rail to finish fifth and seventh, respectively.
  • Going up against the more-fancied Troach ($9.50) and English Riviera ($3.20), Queen Of The Ball ($6.00) showed her tenacity to prevail from start to finish in the $200,000 Scarborough Stakes at Moonee Valley on Friday night. Expertly ridden by jockey Blake Shinn, the three-year-old jumped to the front inside the first 200m from barrier seven while finding the rail, because Shinn knew Michael Freedman’s sprinter had the heart to be a frontrunner and prevail. Having given nothing else a chance, Queen of The Ball would go on to beat Troach comfortably by 1.5 lengths, while English Riviera would eventually finish three lengths off the eventual winner back in third to signify just how good the win was.
  • Trained by Mark & Levi Kavanagh, Seradess ($6.50) managed to gun down Godolphin’s Larkspur Run ($4.20) in a dramatic edition of the Scarborough Stakes. The three-year-old filly was having her second start for her spring campaign and under a well-timed steer from Luke Currie managed to add another Stakes victory to an already impressive resume. Having gained a gun run in transit, Seradess was in need of a run on the home turn. Once the gap appeared, Seradess produced a stunning finishing burst to get up in a photo finish and win the Scarborough Stakes.
  • Having been luckless first-up from a spell, the Leon & Troy Corstens-trained Swats That ($3.30) managed to overcome a wide run in transit to claim the Group 3 Scarborough Stakes. Obliged to settle three wide with no cover, John Allen had the daughter of Shamus Award hitting the lead on the home turn and had enough left in the tank to hold off the fast-finishing Highly Discreet ($21) and race favourite Dirty Thoughts ($2.60).
  • First-up as a three-year-old filly, the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained Loving Gaby ($6) produced a stunning performance to claim the Group 3 Scarborough Stakes. Having settled towards the rear of the field under Damian Lane, the classy filly managed to loop the field to get the better of the in-form filly of the spring to date Exhilarates ($3.40) by a neck, with fellow market fancy Villami ($3.80) back in third, a half-length off Loving Gaby.
