Todman Stakes (G2)
Vancouver was away well from the gates and settled on the quarters of the leader Furnaces. He travelled best on cornering for home and hit the front inside the 200m. He responded well to riding and roared away in the run to the line to score with plenty in hand. A very impressive performance. Furnaces showed good pace to lead. He kicked strongly in the straight but could not match the winner over the concluding stages, holding on for a clear second. Headwater was away well but could not cross and was forced to settle in third position three wide facing the breeze. He was the first to come under pressure and was poor to the line finishing a distant third. A post race veterinary examination revealed the colt had a healing wound below the inside knee and displayed a poor post-race recovery.
