Maygrove wins 2017 Feilding Gold Cup Listed NZ$50,000 at Awapuni (NZ), 2100m.
Maygrove took the lead 600m out and outstayed the opposition to win well here, his eighth win, taking his earnings beyond $400,000. Rider Johnathan Parkes bounced him out to be a handy second with a round to go, still second at the 800m then taking over at the 600m.
Parkes took a peek behind just before straightening, punched him out by two at the 300m and had enough in the tank to hold on by a long neck. From midfield, Alinko Prince made a sharp move forward at the 600m, was handy but wide turning in and went after the winner but could not haul him in.
Snow Secret was last down the back, went widest around the bend to be handy enough then finished well for third from Five To Midnight, who had every chance turning in and ran on, losing third late.
