Mister Sea Wolf wins Tooheys 150 B’day Shannon Stakes Group 2, $200,000 at Rosehill, 1500m.
A strong sixth fresh up in the Tramway Stakes three weeks prior, Mister Sea Wolf was too strong here to add win ten (fourth stakes) and take his earnings beyond three quarters of a million dollars.
He settled fourth (rails) early, improving to third at the 800m, remaining there to the top of the straight.
When the leader drifted away from the fence inside the 400m he held his line and ran up to challenge, co-led at the 200m then drew clear soon after for a good win by a length and a quarter.
Favourite Gem Song sat second from the 1000m, went up to the leader from the 400m and co-led briefly but was outfinished.
Tom Melbourne led to the 400m, drifted away from the fence but was caught near the 200m then held on for third from Noire who finished quite well between runners after being second last turning in
