Real Social and Lauren Tritton winning at Tabcorp Park Melton.
Sydneysider Real Social lit up Tabcorp Park Melton for the second time in as many weeks last night.
Trained by Shane and Lauren Tritton, the five-year-old Real Desire/Socialiser gelding had pundits’ eyes wide and mouth agape after a 1:51.9 win from a widest-back-row draw in the Alabar Pace.
Driver Lauren Tritton set Real Social alight at the half-mile, the pair staking their claim fiercely down the back straight and sprinting by Moonrock and race leader Star Of Dionysis, eventually coming clear for an 8.2m success.
The third quarter was covered in 27.4 and Real Desire was looping the field at that point from well-back.
“That’s a win and a half,” Tweeted the Tritton team.
Real Social had put the writing on the wall last weekend with a similarly impressive performance.
Meanwhile, the Trittons combined with Yayas Hot Spot to finish fourth in the Allied Express Victoria Cup taken out by Lennytheshark.
