The all the way winner of this G3 3yo only event over 1200m was the Australian bred Babylon Berlin that soon led and never looked like getting beaten thereafter on the Dead6 rated track. The filly was well clear halfway up the home straight and won in the end by a length and a half to clock 1:11.04 to record her fourth win in ten starts and remarkably it was her first Blacktype success. The time was almost a full second superior to the Ratings74 held prior. The winners and where they came from on the home turn were eleventh (four-off the fence and six lengths from the leader), co-leader (three-off the fence), led (three off the fence and a neck in front), third (six-off the fence and a length from the leader), led (two-off the fence and two lengths in front), third (three-off the fence and two lengths from the leader), fifth (on the fence and three lengths from the leader) and eighth (eight-off the fence and three lengths from the leader). The filly is a natural leader and only once in her career has she missed the top three and that was when fifth at G3 on this track in October last year. Five of the eight winners today turned for home first, second or third it should be noted showing the blatant bias on display. Second home was No Filter and the gelding settled back ninth and was wide with cover across the top then improved to sixth turning for home. He surged and reached third at the 250m before getting into second at the 150m but the winner had stolen a winning march by then. Third home was the filly Shezzacatch at $20 after settling back eighth the inner and then importantly getting through closer in the run home to reach second at the 250m before being third at the 150m. She was beaten five lengths by the winner so was a distant third at the line. Fourth home was El Tirador that raced seventh the outer and came up wider fifth turning for home and reached fourth at the 200m but just held his ground thereafter. Fifth home was the South Island filly Miss Tycoon Rose and the Australian bred settled back tenth the inner and worked off turning for home. She was seventh at the 200m then got held up at the 150m but ran home well to be fifth at the 100m got beaten just over five and a half lengths. Next home was Side By Side that was second last away and still well back turning for home then came through closer in to be sixth at the 200m. Seventh home and ninth home (Sacred Option and Lelawala) both got back but ran home wide the run home. Eighth home was the Australian bred Pazienza that raced fourth then fifth then came through second turning for home only to weaken the run home. The rest got beaten over eleven lengths and as far as almost thirty-three lengths. The on pace and inside bias here at Te Rapa is the most extreme in all of New Zealand and once again it reared its head at this meeting with the majority of winners being leaders or those close on settling. Babylon Berlin is speedy and suited to this track but it was still incredible that today was her first Blacktype win. Whether anything in this field is from the top tier remains to be seen because the blatant track bias of this venue makes almost all results here totally tainted and thoroughly misleading.
