Triple Honour back in style
16/08/2008 7:13 PM
Doncaster Handicap winner Triple Honour has returned to racing in style, easily winning the Group Two Premier Stakes at Rosehill Gardens.
The promising four-year-old, who started at $3 for the race, took his record to six wins from 10 starts with a comfortable victory, over Captain Bax while Reigning to Win was third.
Ridden by Glen Boss, Triple Honour wasn't fully wound up and drifted in down the straight, but still proved far too good for his rivals.
Earlier on the card, Red Lord strengthened his claims for the big spring handicaps with an impressive second-up win in a 1500m race. Corey Brown sat the five-year-old well off the pace, bringing him for a strong run late to win running away at odds of $10.
And Kerrin McEvoy won his biggest race since his return from England, combining with Desuetude ($2.5) to win the Group 3 Run to the Rose (1300m).
