Windsor wins Speight’s Timaru Stakes, Listed, NZ$50,000 at Riccarton Park, 1400m.
Windsor showed great determination after being headed in the straight for his maiden stakes success, a hattrick and career win six.
He sped into the lead past the 1200m and went clear by three at the 800m. With 500m to run the lead shrunk to a length and well into the straight he tried to kick clear.
Headed at the 200m he refused to lie down, fought back and was doing better at the line by a long neck.
Monza Circuito chased the winner to the top of the straight, challenged and took over briefly at the 200m but when the winner fought back was unable to lift, fighting on to hold second.
Belle Fascino sat third to the 500m, ran up to get within a half length of the two leaders but had to settle for third while Enzo's Lad had too much to do in the straight, running on for fourth.
