Werther wins 2015 Valachi Downs C’ship Stakes Group 2 NZ$ 100,000 at Ellerslie (NZ) 3yo, 2100m.
Werther was able to work into perfect position midrace, wide with cover in midfield, bided his time tracking up a wall off horses from the 600m and after pushing clear at the 300m he unleashed a powerful gallop in the slow going to win well. Content to race wide in midfield throughout,
Exquisite Jewel stayed on strongly to just hold second ahead of Vive La Difference who circled from last at the 600m and sustained a big run wide on the track for third.
