From post position 6, our star 3-year-old gelding settled confidently into 4th place under Matt’s expert guidance, cruising comfortably for over half the race.

Third quarter wound down, Matt took charge, urging LOCHLAN to make his move. With a burst of speed, he surged from 4th, overtaking the leader around the final bend to seize a commanding 4-length lead. Victory seemed certain - until horse number 2 DAMN THE TORPEDOES, staged a jaw-dropping comeback in the final strides, snatching the win in a photo finish.
