Windborne wins 2015 Canterbury Belle Stakes Listed NZ$50,000 at Riccarton Park (NZ) 3yoFillies, 1200m.
Windborne never left the rails throughout the 1200m journey and always had a clear view of the field as the leader raced one and two widths off the rail. Turning for home, Windborne was not hurried to pass the leaders but gradually asserted herself and took command with 200m to run and then drew away to win easily. A dominant win.
Dezzies Dream led soon after the start but her jockey elected to race her one off the rails well into the straight, holding the lead until the 300m but had no answer to the winner. She just held on to second but had nothing left at the finish.
Princess Davone was back early and was widest of all the runners out in the middle of the track upon straightening. She took a little time to wind up but was travelling better than all but the winner at the line, almost getting past Dezzies Dream.
Aspen Lass followed the winner and hugged the rails throughout and finished quite well for fourth.
