Second favorite behind her stablemate Pre Eminent Ahrrythmia settled back into the field from the inside of the second row. In contrast, Pre Eminent went straight to the front without much effort and rider Ryan Sanderson was able to assess the filly down to the last detail.
After running three wide, Ahrrythmia eventually settled outside the leader, but she had clearly done more work than Pre Eminent.
Pre Eminent almost stole the race when straightening, as his lead extended to almost five meters. However strongly urged by Cameron Hart, Ahrrythmia leveled and in a driving finish she just took victory on the line of Pre Eminent with stablemates My Bettor Half and Hilltop Blossom, leaving Emma Stewart in the top four places.
ARRHYTHMIA NOV 22 REPETITION
Ahrrythmia is raced by Team Zavitsanos and comes out of the lightly raced mare Jo An Leonie who left the smart mare Jo An Jo who ran 1.51.7.
Ahrrythmia has now won all seven of her appearances for just over $89,000 in prize money. She gives the impression that she will be a strong Oaks proposition for next season.
Cameron Hart was quite impressed with the performance
She was great tonight. We had to do it the hard way. She was incredible, she had to be the best horse in the race. I can’t take too much credit, she wanted it a little more. It’s great if you can catch these young babies and show them the fight they are putting up. It makes our work a lot easier.
You have to try to get them into the race and if they have the will to win like this girl, you get them involved in the race and they will do the rest at the finish. Danny Zavitsanos has been a big supporter of mine for many years and every time I can get a big race win for him it’s a great pleasure. And for Emma and Clayton it is always a privilege to ride these wonderful horses.
