RELIABLE RUBY extended her excellent record at the Sunshine Coast and delivered a late Christmas present for our parents when she registered a fourth victory in style at one of her favourite tracks.
The mare built on an impressive return at Ipswich at the start of December to score her sixth success for trainer Chris Munce with a last-to-first victory on Boxing Day.
RELIABLE RUBY has now banked more than $150,000 in prizemoney earnings after her explosive finish under regular rider Damien Thornton in the TAB Open Handicap (1000m).
Despite missing the start, Thornton refused to panic and after straightening the pair picked off their rivals one by one to win by a length eased down.
"It wasn't ideal that she missed the start, but we were able to get into a nice rhythm," said Thornton.
"The leaders went pretty quick but I could see a few of them were struggling in the straight, so I was always pretty confident we'd round them up and she did it quite comfortably in the end. She was too good for them and hopefully we can progress onto bigger and better things from here."
