Begood Toya Mother wins L’brokes Sir Rupert Clarke Group 1$500, 000 at Caulfield, 1400m.
The highly consistent Begood Toya Mother , a winner of six of his previous seven starts, capped his rise through the classes by taking out the Group 1 race in good style. He was smartly away as usual, led early on but eased to a mid-race challenge (from Iconoclasm) to travel in second place before going to the front on turning for home. He then battled on gamely to score a very good win.
