2018 Holdfast Insurance B’day Cup Listed February 17 - Morphettville

Exalted Lightning wins 2018 Holdfast Insurance B’day Cup Listed $100,000 at Morphettville (SA), 2035m.

Exalted Lightning has his maiden stakes win and nine in total with this easy win here. He dropped out to be last early and in a compact field remained there, one off the fence, down the back straight to the 600m.

Jockey Todd Pannell moved out three wide at the 500m but they were still second last into the straight and even wider starting the run home. He took time to balance but slowly gathered momentum, grabbed the lead at the 100m then pulled his way clear to win quite easily by two lengths.

Jim’s Journey was back in traffic before straightening then finished well between runners for second from Addison who was also back turning in and looked a possibility but was out-finished late to hold third.

Favourite The Chairman took over into the straight but was passed late for a close up fourth.
