Gosford Quarries Gold Cup (LR)
The favourite Singing returned after racing successfully in Queensland where he was unbeaten in two starts at Doomben to complete the hat-trick by taking out this Listed race in good style. He soon came across from his outside barrier (9) and worked to the lead nearing the 1400m, before steadying the pace shortly afterwards. He beat off some challengers and dashed clear nearing the home turn and was untroubled from that point to win easily in a good staying effort. Red Excitement settled back in seventh place, one off the rails, went deep from the 600m, went to second on straightening and then fought well under his 60.5kg to take a good second. Mighty Lucky showed early pace before racing in fourth place. He got to third nearing the home turn and then battled on quite well to hold the minor placing.
