The Sydney Cup saw tight action as Bayacre and Turbine Jack faced tough finishes. Astute DOr and Gollan’s bets highlighted a day where longshots paid and bookmakers’ dreams aligned with Jacko and Johnnie Jason wins in the Easter double.
Randwick crowds cheered as Johnnie Jason and Admiral Drake battled to the line. The Victorian three year old, with Ray Wilson aboard, surged late to win the £3656 first prize amid a collapse of favorite Middle Watch.
In the Australian Trotting Record, Johnnie Jason narrowly defeats Admiral Drake by a head after a back and forth two mile dash. Mira Donna falters early and Veilmond finishes strong for third as Wallawill the second choice garners attention for future Classics.
At Randwick, Prince Werderer with Alf Stanton reappeared in the La Perouse Handicap after a long layoff. Hackett backed Tom Pinch Holdfast and Parkwood in the opening race while Richmond’s Best, a juvenile, drew interest ahead of the Easter Stakes. About 6000 patrons attended, weather aiding a profitable meeting for owners and trainers. Wilson, the Melbourne jockey, rode Johnnie Jason to Sydney Cup glory earning £181 6s.
Very weak showing by Strength in yesterday's Cup. Despite memories of his Metrop victory last spring, the imported gelding could not sustain pace over two miles. Darby Munro rode him with a jog trot throughout, finishing among the last three past the judge.
The report describes a crowded finish with Cook holding a slight edge on the favorite as boats of horses pass the stand. Admiral Drake Aleman Mira Donna Johnnie Jason Maurice Bede and Crucis are closely bunched mid race with many others like Panther Inducement and Grucis following behind.
A horse named EORGE PRICE carries a neddy Raf flight in his emporium. Raf flight ran twice without placing. EORGE PRICE finished ninth in yesterday's La Perouse Handicap. The trainer expects a better showing in a less select race.
