Final Fling winner stays a 109

Greg Ennion’s Love Is  A Rose remains unchanged on a merit rating of 99 after winning the Gr3 Final Fling Stakes for fillies and mares over 1950m on the winter course at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday 22 July.

The Handicappers were of the view that 3rd placed VERONICA MARS made for the most suitable line horse, leaving her unchanged on a mark of 90.

In assessing the race this way LOVE IS A ROSE only runs to a mark of 95, hence her unaltered rating.

The only rating’s increase was for 2nd placed YOUNG LOVE, who goes up from 92 to 95, but no fewer than five horses were given a drop.

4th placed GOLD POKER GAME is down from 102 to 100, DO ANGELS CRY drops from 92 to 89, FLOWER OF SAIGON is down to 89 from 91, ACADEMIC GOLD was trimmed from 81 to 80, and lastly, BROADWAY GIRL drops from 94 to 92.

  • Listed Olympic Duel Stakes (Handicap)

KWINTA’S LIGHT has had her rating raised from 105 to 109 after she won the Listed Olympic Duel Stakes for fillies and mares over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.

The Handicappers used runner-up BODY ELECTRIC to her rating of 86 as the line horse, which leaves her rating unchanged even though BODY ELECTRIC was 3 pounds or 1.5 kgs under sufferance at the weights.

In fact, it was noted that five of the eight runners were under sufferance and as a consequence the majority of this field were not meeting on proper handicap terms.  In rating the race this way 4th placed SONIC BURST (who was 5 pounds or 2.5 kgs under sufferance) also runs to her rating of 83, effectively making her a line horse as well.

There were no rating’s increases aside from the winner, while the only drop was for 3rd placed GIMME’S LASSIE, who is down from 104 to 101.

The Enchanting Currency Of Fate

It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
