Silverball wins 2015 Sky Central Kingston Town Stks Group 3 $125,000 at Rosehill (NSW) 3yo+, 2000m.
Silverball was ridden quietly back in fifth place, one off the rails, following a very steady tempo (first 1400m 1:28.50). Brenton Avdulla asked him to sprint rounding the home turn, he got to third nearing the 200m and then finished too well to score comfortably at the post, in a smart effort.
Maurus was second last on the rails in the seven-horse field. He switched deep on straightening and ran on well in the sprint home for a very good second.
Foundry was fourth on the rails, got through to third at the 300m and kept battling really on well along the rails, to hold third, in a sound effort.
King Kinshasa led the field at a moderate pace, lifted the tempo from the 600m and led clearly at the 200m before fighting on for fourth, beaten less than a length, with the first four home European-bred imports.
