The final G1 of the season in New Zealand is for the strength and rock of the sport namely fillies and mares, which has stood up this century with reliable rather than spasmodic performance. The entire New Zealand season and calendar and higher stake money and weight relief is set up and continues to be to assist female gallopers greatly over the males. It is ironic that the fillies and mares only have one G1 race just for them when the Breeders, Studs and Bloodstock sales have such a massive say into how New Zealand thoroughbred racing is run and headed. The field today was worryingly only a dozen runners when this race is almost always capacity and that alone should set off wagering alarms bells. The track at Te Aroha today was as normal very biased towards on pacers and the inside lanes with eight winners on the nine race card coming from no worse than fourth on settling. The only exception came in a nine-horse field run at a torrid clip that saw the winner come from sixth turning for home, otherwise it was a very biased track raceday. Miss Wilson finished fourth in this last year but the now stronger 5yo Australian bred mare looked the winner a long way out after settling down third on her own as two leaders drag raced each other, which has happened unbelievably in the last two G1 races held in New Zealand. The sight of two runners cutting each other up and eliminating each others chances is a worrying sign at G1 in New Zealand especially when for most of the season prior walking up front has been tolerated and no single rider reacted. Bettors wager on confidence gained from seeing competence at all levels of the sport but the last two G1 races in New Zealand have seen two up front cost each other any possible winning chance and both times the runner sitting third giggling has won. Miss Wilson strode up and led at the 300m and went clear before holding on well to score by half a length in 1:35.06 to record her first G1 success after four attempts prior returned in order a fourth (in this) then a seven, an eighth and a ninth. She has now won seven of twenty-five starts and all of them have come on good or dead footing. Thee Auld Floozie ran on strongly for second after sitting sixth the outer and she is always a threat against her own sex. Nicoletta attacked for the lead the outer after 400m and kept applying the blowtorch before being headed at the 300m. She was third at the 200m and held that well albeit just to the line all things considered to be beaten just under two lengths and who knows what a more patient ride could have achieved. Heni ran on gamely for fourth after settling down seventh and missed third and that valuable G1 placing by a whisker. Coldplay found the line well too after settling one spot further back but was over a length behind Heni and Nicoletta at the line. Cote D'or plugged on but was disappointing overall while Ruud Not Too got attacked from the 1200m to the home turn and weakened. Montoya Star found the further you come up the North Island the harder it gets with a plugging eighth. The rest were beaten over six lengths and of those the big flop was the clear favourite Darscape Princess that settled fourth the outer in a good spot but was battling the run home. Prior she had run second at G1 under WFA versus all comers and sixth in that race and four and a half lengths behind was Nicoletta. Today to show the form cannot be trusted Nicoletta has finished four and a half lengths ahead of Darscape Princess today or a nine length turnaround in two weeks. Miss Wilson has more wins in store if kept racing and no pressure now with a G1 on her dance card. Not very many of these from today will keep racing for too much longer so as a future form source, of which it is usually very reliable, that becomes clouded and diluted in strength terms.
