Maiden Quizzical Quells Rider Faintly After Fall
Quizzical a maiden filly ran Fidelity to a neck in the Novice at Mowen on Saturday when a fall near the stretch disrupted the race. Darby Munro rode to recover after the horse slipped and nearly unseated him, with Quizzical losing all chance as Meld led the field home. Backers and trainer Stan Lamond faced a tense finish despite the mishap. Fidelity, branded by her backers, was seen as a potential future winner once she returns to Rosehill and vindicates her form. High Speech then won at Randwick, with his trainer eyeing Doomben next month, while the field reflected the day’s unsettled racing.
