2018 Apollo Stakes Day Results

Race 1 (12:45pm) – $60,000 Highway Handicap Results

Mate Story led from start to finish to record a tough win in the Highway Handicap at Royal Randwick this afternoon.

There was no love for Mate Story with punters ahead of the Highway Handicap and he drifted from $1.80 out to $3.50, but he was always in control of the race.

Jean Van Overmeire took him straight to the front in the early stages and he quickly put away his rivals when he was asked for an extra effort.

• 1st – Mate Story
• 2nd – Fui San
• 3rd – Royal Villa

Race 2 (1:25pm) – $150,000 Pierro Plate Results

Santos stamped himself as a genuine Golden Slipper contender with an impressive win in he 2018 Pierro Plate at Royal Randwick this afternoon.

Santos did plenty wrong in the run and Tim Clark struggled to get him to settle, but he was still able to savage the line when asked for an extra effort.

Legend Of Condor started the Pierro Plate as a clear favourite, but he was one of the first horses beaten.

• 1st – Santos
• 2nd – Exceltic
• 3rd – Irish Bet

Race 3 (2:00pm) – $100,000 Fairfax & Roberts Jewellers Handicap Results

The judge could not seperate Emperor’s Way and Almost Court in the Fairfar & Roberts Jewellers Handicap at Royal Randwick this afternoon.

Almost Court kicked clear at the top of the straight and looked as though he had stolen the race when Emperor’s Way was held-up for a run.

Emperor’s Way eventually found clear running and savaged the line in the final 100 metres before he hit the line along with Almost Court.

The judge took an eternity to make a decision and in the end he couldn’t split the pair as a deadheat was declared.

• 1st – Emperor’s Way (Deadheat)
• 1st – Almost Court (Deadheat)
• 3rd – Zourkhan

Race 4 (3:10pm) – $150,000 Southern Cross Stakes Results

Kaepernick returned to winning form with a smart performance in the Southern Cross Stakes at Royal Randwick this afternoon.

It was Deploy that started the Southern Cross Stakes as a clear favourite, but he was one of the first horses beaten and it was Kaepernick that showed an electric turn-of-foot when asked for an extra effort.

Dothraki loomed as the danger on the inside, but punters who backed Kaepernick never had any worries and he saluted at the juicy price of $7.50.

• 1st – Kaepernick
• 2nd– Dothraki
• 3rd – Boss Lane

• 3rd – The Pinnacle

It was Global Glamour that press forward to take up the running from Addictive Nature in the early stages of the Apollo Stakes and she proved tough to run down in the straight.

Global Glamour refused to go away and Comin’ Through and Prized Icon flew home late, but it was Endless Drama that hit the front at the right time to claim victory.

• 2nd– Global Glamour
• 3rd – Comin’ Through
