TSR Weekly Wrap | 19 July 2023
Three wins, including two features, and hopefully more to come.
That’s the latest for us from the Queensland Constellations Carnival.
Amore Vita did a splendid job to land the G1 $150,000 The Golden Girl in a sensational 1:50.5 on Saturday night.
She flashed home for her 15th career win (fourth in our stable) to take her lifetime earnings past $500,000.
Now she goes to the G1 $400,000 The Blacks A Fake at The Creek next Saturday night.
The draw has not been kind, with her getting gate 12 - lining up alongside Mach Dan (11) after his sixth in the Sunshine Sprint.
Balboa Rock provided our other feature win at Albion Park in the listed $156,000 Albion Park Gold 2yo Final in 1:56.1.
It was just the Rock N Roll Heaven colt’s third start.
We were also treated to an eye-catching win for The Lost Storm.
It was the perfect lead-up to the G1 $150,000 Queensland Derby, in which he has drawn six, on Saturday night.
We also have Soho Historia backing up in a mares support race after a promising fourth.
