Music Magnate wins 2017 Expressway Stakes Group 2 $200,000 at Rosehill (NSW) 3yo+, 1200m.
The Bjorn Baker-trained, Group One-winning sprinter Music Magnate scored a very smart first up win. He began well and then settled nicely outside the leader (Ball Of Muscle). He put pressure on that runner at the home turn, got the upper hand at the 100m and then went on to win quite impressively, looking set for a good preparation.
Kuro raced in fourth place on the rails, eased into clear running at the 200m and then finished well for a good second, without looking likely to trouble the winner.
Ball Of Muscle soon went to the front and he held the lead until passing the 200m before holding on quite well for third.
