Wink And A Nod wins 2016 Hyperion Stakes Group 3 $150,000 at Belmont Park (WA) 2yo+, 1600m.
Talented mare Wink And A Nod put up another very smart effort if scoring here. She travelled well in seventh place, between runners, eased deep at the home turn and then came with a strong late finish for a narrow but impressive win.
Zarantz was handily placed about fifth, between runners, got a split on turning for home and briefly looked the winner when he got to a narrow lead at the 50m, only to be caught on the post for second.
Outsider Gris Caro had a good trip behind the leader and got through late to grab third in a photo.
Fuchsia Bandana led the field until the 100m and fought well for a close-up fourth.
