Who Dares Wins wins Craigmore Timaru Cup, Listed : NZ$50,000 at Phar Lap Raceway, 1600m.
Fresh up after five months, yet with the benefit of a couple of recent trials, Who Dares Wins got the upper hand over the final 50m to score his tenth victory and third stakes.
He was second early then found the rail in third when they settled. Holding that spot inside the 600m, he only needed to get out of the box and that opportunity presented at the 200m.
Jockey Samantha Wynne pulled him three wide into the clear, gathered in the leader and then edged into the lead a few strides from the line, scoring by a half neck. The judge could not separate the next two home.
Monza Circuito sat just back of the winner in fourth past the 1200m and crept into third at the 400m. In the straight he was making no impression to the 100m then lifted gamely late for the dead-heat.
Lady Style sat outside the lead in second all the way to the last corner, took over at the top of the straight and never gave up to the line to share a game second.
Owen Patrick ran home well from second last to land a close fourth.
