Recent Up And Coming Stakes results
- Autumn Glow ($2.00) has justified the short price with horse racing bookmakers in the Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill, careering away with the prize to remain undefeated in her two starts. The Chris Waller-trained filly was given a perfect ride by Kerrin McEvoy, slotting into the ideal midfield position with cover throughout the 1300m, utilising the light weight to stalk a genuine tempo every step of the way. Axius ($7.50) and Wanaruah ($5.50) were sent forward to fight out the early lead, leaving McEvoy with no choice but to hand up, as she did on debut, biding her time in behind before exploding in the final 400m. She was only building the revs up in the final furlong, but it was all over, with only the James Cummings-trained Snack Bar ($10.00) making any impression from the back-half of the field.
- Tom Kitten ($11) has returned to the racetrack as a winner after getting the better of Kintyre ($19) in the final strides to claim the Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes at Rosehill. The son of Harry Angel was given 59kg – which was four kilograms more than any other runner – but it didn’t matter, as the James Cummings-trained colt wound up in the final 200m to reel in the leader. Throughout the day at Rosehill, the inside running rail has appeared the best place to be in the home straight, but Nash Rawiller didn’t worry about the inside and got his leggy colt out into clear air and let him go through his gears.
- Gai Waterhouse trained her sixth winner of the Up And Coming Stakes as Kibou ($3.50) used his fitness advantage to lead throughout in the Group 3 contest for three-year-olds. Ridden by Regan Bayliss, Kibou defeated Golden Mile ($16) by 2.25 lengths, with Basquiat ($4.80) a further 3.5 lengths away in third. The three-year-old son of Maurice jumped and found the lead within 200m, and from then on, he didn’t look back, as he careered away in the home straight to record his third win at his fifth career start.
- James McDonald produces a peach of a ride to win the Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes on Tiger Of Malay ($2.90). After settling on the rail behind the leaders, McDonald went for a needle eye opening on the rail to burst through and nab Coastwatch ($6.50) on the finish line, while the fast-finishing Construct ($7) rounded out the placings in third. The Michael Freedman-trained galloper went into the race first-up off an eight-week freshen, but he still carried the massive weight of 61kg to kick off his spring campaign in fine style.
- North Pacific ($1.90) jumped as an odds-on favourite in the 2020 Up And Coming Stakes and he duly saluted, winning by a massive 5.25 lengths. The Hawkes Racing-trained colt by Brazen Beau had only raced twice previously but had much too much class for his rivals. Strong finisher Bazooka ($26) ran second ahead of Marsannay ($11) to fill the minor placings. James McDonald had the raging favourite in the box seat behind the leaders until the home turn, before letting North Pacific go through his gears and run away with as dominant a win as you will see.
- James McDonald and True Detective may have run over the line in second place, but later on in the piece, they would claim the Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes after successfully protesting the result. True Detective, who started the $2.30 favourite, defeated Superium ($8) and Lucicello ($5.50), after stewards ruled that the interference caused by Superium over the concluding stages cost True Detective the race.
