Hopeful two-year-olds met today for a final end-of-season showdown before heading into the winter break where the youngsters refuel their batteries and finalise that last growth spurt before next year's Derby campaign. Also at hand, Park Wiedingen home-bred WINNING SPIRIT, who advanced to becoming a Listed winner in Milan four weeks ago.
The SOLDIER HOLLOW colt, prepared by Peter Schiergen for Liberty Racing 2021, once again had Rene Piechulek in the saddle and ran a very strong race in the Gr.3 contest over 1,700 metres. There was no match for the completely superior winner, but WINNING SPIRIT showed a strong final run after a race off the pace and, in the end, was relegated to third place only by a neck.
