narrowest of margins over the rank<br />

outsider Smanjemanje, to give trainer<br />

Sean Tarry and owner/breeder Chris<br />

Game On Dude remains on course for<br />

a second tilt at the <strong>Breeder</strong>s’ Cup<br />

Classic – a race in which he was<br />

collared close home last November –<br />

having led home a one-two for trainer<br />

Bob Baffert in the Hollywood Gold<br />

Cup. Game On Dude was beaten by a<br />

head in the 2011 renewal of this<br />

showpiece event but this time had a<br />

length and a half to spare over<br />

Richard’s Kid at the wire, with Chantal<br />

Sutherland in the plate. Baffert could<br />

now aim him at the Pacific Classic,<br />

even though he appeared not to relish<br />

Del Mar’s Polytrack when fourth in it last<br />

year.<br />

race. Hot favourite Jackson, who had<br />

won the Cape Derby and gone on to<br />

demolish his rivals (including<br />

Pomodoro) in the Daily News 2000,<br />

raced free without cover and beat just<br />

two home.<br />

The Garden Province Stakes came<br />

close to sharing top billing with the July<br />

and did not disappoint. Princess<br />

Victoria got first run on the other crack<br />

filly Ebony Flyer and held on by half a<br />

length to ensure she will follow her<br />

juvenile champion status with a similar<br />

Acclamation, the winner that<br />

afternoon, will defend his crown after<br />

taking his winning streak to seven in the<br />

Eddie Read Stakes. Proven on dirt,<br />

artificial and grass, Acclamation has a<br />

plethora of possible <strong>Breeder</strong>s’ Cup<br />

targets, with the Turf his most likely<br />

destination.<br />

His opponents there are set to<br />

include both Point Of Entry and Turbo<br />

Compressor. Point Of Entry took a Man<br />

o’War Stakes in which Aidan O’Brien’s<br />

odds-on favourite Treasure Beach<br />

finished fifth, having been set an<br />

impossible task to come from behind<br />

off a slow pace.<br />

award in her Classic year.<br />

The big two-year-old events on the<br />

card were dominated by trainers Corne<br />

Spies and Mike de Kock. Spies has a<br />

potential top-notcher on his hands in<br />

the shape of War Horse, who put his<br />

SA Nursery flop firmly behind him with a<br />

two and a quarter length success in the<br />

Golden Horseshoe.<br />

De Kock, who took third in the<br />

Golden Horseshoe with one filly,<br />

Honorine, landed the Golden Slipper<br />

when another, Rumya, produced a<br />

Turbo Compressor took his record<br />

to three wins from four starts since<br />

switching to the turf when the<br />

beneficiary of a canny front-running ride<br />

from Joe Bravo in the United Nations<br />

Stakes.<br />

Rae Guest’s Miss Cato, who was<br />

unraced until victory in a Southwell<br />

seller on New Year’s Day earned her a<br />

handicap mark of just 53, fared best of<br />

two British raiders in the American<br />

Oaks when taking fourth, four lengths<br />

behind the comfortable winner Lady Of<br />

Shamrock.<br />

Questing, who was twice Group 3placed<br />

for John Gosden last season but<br />

strong late burst to deny the Spiestrained<br />

Straight Set.<br />

What A Winter, who failed to<br />

handle the Scottsville track when<br />

disappointing in the Golden Horse<br />

Casino Sprint, reaffirmed his position at<br />

the head of the speedsters’ ranks with a<br />

dominant victory in the Mercury Sprint.<br />

Trainer Mike Bass said afterwards that<br />

he would “seriously consider” an<br />

international campaign if the current<br />

stringent quarantine restrictions are<br />

relaxed.<br />

transferred to Godolphin and is now<br />

with Kiaran McLaughlin, is unbeaten in<br />

two starts on dirt after she put more<br />

than four lengths between herself and<br />

the favourite, Zo Impressive, with In<br />

Lingerie a further two and a quarter<br />

lengths further back in third, in the<br />

Coaching Club American Oaks at<br />

Saratoga.<br />

Finally, Musical Romance<br />

continued the build-up to her bid to<br />

repeat last year’s <strong>Breeder</strong>s’ Cup Filly &<br />

Mare Sprint triumph with a half-length<br />

win under top weight in the 11-runner<br />

Princess Rooney Handicap at Calder in<br />

Florida.<br />
