Overview
- Chris Waller secured a fourth consecutive Coolmore Classic, continuing his stable’s dominance of the 1500m Group 1 for fillies and mares.
- Carrying 58kg, Lazzura edged Arctic Glamour by a short neck with Vivy Air another short neck away, becoming the first mare since Sunline in 2002 to win the race with more than 57kg.
- Warwoven booked a Golden Slipper start with a decisive Pago Pago Stakes win, joining stablemate Paradoxium in next week’s $5 million feature.
- Pembrey earned a Slipper berth in the Magic Night Stakes, with connections indicating a $150,000 late entry fee is likely.
- Stewards questioned McDonald over contact in an earlier ride and issued a reprimand, and Lazzura’s team is weighing the Queen Of The Turf or Doncaster for her next start.
