Dominant v Designs On Rome in Hong Kong Centenary Vase

08 Feb 2015

Es Que Love's half brother Dominant gave Designs On Rome a run for his money in the Hong Kong Centenary Vase. It was a thrilling race and as the photo attached to this article evidences - a very tight affair in the final stages. Dominant will now head south. The 2013 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Vase (2400m) victor has Australia on his agenda with the G1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill his planned first stop. Dominant's trainer John Moore said, “Today he really fought on,” said Moore. “He’ll fly to Australia on 2 March and compete in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes and then on to either the QE or the Sydney Cup. Judging on a run like that, and taking into consideration that he was carrying a bit of condition today, I’m really thrilled with the run. When Nash Rawiller got off him he said ‘this horse will take a bit of beating in the Ranvet’ and that’s what I want to hear from jockeys. So far, so good and I’m a very happy trainer,” said Moore.

 

Looks like the Sydney Carnival will be a very exciting time for the Rathasker homebred!
