Yellowglen Turnbull Stakes (G1)
Hartnell followed up last month’s brilliant wins in the Chelmsford Stakes (Gr 2, 1600m) and Hill Stakes (Gr 2, 2000m) to record another outstanding victory in taking out this Group One race in effortless fashion. He began well, settled nicely in fifth place, one off the rails, comfortably moved up nearing the home turn, took the lead at the 300m and then dashed clear to score a very easy win, looking primed for a possible clash with Winx (Street Cry) in the Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) on 22 October. Jameka tracked the winner, racing in sixth place, moved up (under riding) at the home turn, got to second at the 200m and fought on well to hold that position, having no chance with the winner. The winner’s stablemate Tally raced outside the leader (Second Bullet), took the lead at the home turn and held on well for a very good third. Preferment raced in seventh place on the rails, went to fifth (under riding) nearing the 200m and then battled on well (7 lengths) fourth. Happy Trails was back in tenth place and made good ground in the straight for (7.8 lengths) fifth, putting up a nice effort at this second run this preparation. Tarzino was a handy fourth to the home turn and then battled on for (8.1 lengths) sixth.
