Shadow Sax proves too strong.
Shadow Sax’s continued improvement continued at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday night with a Group 1 victory in the Empire Stallions Vicbred Super Series Final for two-year-old colts and geldings.
Trained by Emma Stewart, the Shadow Play gelding out of Miss Saxony – a mare whose five progeny to race have all notched multiple wins – led for Gavin Lang in the 2240m final before fending off Brallos Pass at the finish.
Brallos Pass had been backed into $2 favourite and he got within a half-neck of the winner, but Shadow Sax was too strong, sprinting home with a 56.9secs last half for a winning mile rate of 1:59.1.
Shadow Sax has now won three out of seven and stake money of $80,873.
