Honor That 2016 Nzb Airfreight Breeders Stakes Listed NZ$50,000 at Wingatui (NZ) 3yoFillies, 1400m.
Honor That drew widest, jumped as well as any but drifted back as they settled. Starting on the bend she gradually moved up through the field so as to be handy but wide turning in. Into the straight she was six widths off the fence and travelling well. Halfway down the home run she was three lengths from the breakaway leader but her good momentum saw her range up then cruise away over the last few strides for a good yet unexpected win.
Cantilena raced handy but three wide passing the 800 metres and took over at the top of the straight then broke clear, looking like an easy winner. She kept going well but could not handle the winner’s finish.
Princess Davone had a nice spot in behind the leading group to the turn, pulled out for a run and ran on well enough to grab third.
