2016 Fairdale/Goodwood Studs Fly Listed April 2 - Awapuni

3 minute read

Mabeel wins 2016 Fairdale/Goodwood Studs Fly Listed NZ$50,000 at Awapuni (NZ), 1400m.

From barrier 11 Mabeel was quickest into stride and took over by a couple of lengths inside the first 200m. By the 800m Mabeel cleared out, putting six lengths on them and was cruising. Jockey Sam Spratt eased a little before the home straight but still led by four lengths out in the middle of the track. In the better going, Mabeel was shaken up and set sail for the judge with Spratt urging him on. There was a little wobble at the 200m but Spratt straightened him and they never gave anything else a chance.

Seize The Moment was a distant third at the 600m then moved up to be second turning in but had no chance with the winner, yet stayed on well to beat the rest to the line.

Scapolo got off the rails at the 600m and moved up to fifth but a long way off the lead. He threaded his way through, tracking Seize The Moment, but the race was over by then and battled on to hold third.

Fairdale/Goodwood Studs Fly (LR)

WT: 53kg Type: OPEN

Mabeel looked a weight special in this Listed Open Handicap over 1400m and ran them into the mud to score by over four lengths. He clocked 1:26.90 and was clear in front for the vast majority of the race. It was his sixth win twelve starts and the Listed win can be added to a G3 win. The 5yo gelding looked a handicapping special as he had won a G3 mile at the same weight as today by four lengths just four runs ago and the distant runner up that day was the same name as today in Seize The Moment. After chasing in a gap second the whole way Seize The Moment must be getting sick of Mabeel now at 53.5kg as he cannot get with four lengths of it. Scapolo was a brave third albeit distant under 61kg and giving the tidy winner 7.5kg was simply mission impossible. Cassie Anne ran on well down the outer late while Britt Ekland was brave after a wide trip and her new stable will soon get a result out her. Designated Driver is a next upper after being tardy and settling down last on his own then cutting the corner turning for home before being anchored in footing that was a slog bog by now where you had to come down the outer. The rest were well beaten and once again the margin from first to last was big being almost twenty-five lengths. Mabeel ran fourth at G1 three starts ago at 55kg so today at Listed level was thrown in at 53.5kg and it showed. He will be part of his stable that are shifting to Victoria to train out of Cranbourne next season chasing far superior stake money and better opportunities weekly. There will be some form out of the race but mostly on better footing as track conditions today at Awapuni penalized vast numbers in every single race.
