The Jumbo Jet Racing Stables/Master Z Racing Stables completed two astonishing victories at the Labour Day Cup at Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club on Sunday afternoon: Stat powered to a crushing gate-to-pole win in the feature race while Barbra won the sprint classic in a record time of one minute.
Jockey Colin Ross again showed his class, winning the two big races. Stat overpowered Mapa Do Brasil (second) and Ritorna Vincentori (third) in the feature race, which ran at nine furlongs. Ross ensured that Stat stopped the clock in one minute and 55 seconds, displayed the diversity and skill of the horse, in a longer-distance race.
It was surely a dash for the cash in the penultimate five-furlong race of the day. Jumbo Jet Racing Stables’ Barbra stopped the clock in exactly one minute, a record time in the Arrival Day Sprint.
