A dominant display by SHIFFRIN at Hawkesbury saw the consistent mare secure her third career win and shoot past $50,000 in earnings.
The daughter of Supido showed sharp improvement at the second start of her summer prep under Zac Lloyd, who controlled Sunday’s 1300m contest from the front.
Having kicked off her campaign over 1200m at Warwick Farm, SHIFFRIN relished the step up in distance in the Benchmark 64 Handicap.
The jump-and-run tactics also bore spectacular fruit, as the 4YO led all the way to take her winnings to $66,500 from just seven starts.
“She ran right up to my expectations of her,” said Lloyd post-race.
“It probably wasn’t ‘plan A’ to lead, but I wanted to ride her like the best horse in the race and she bounced really well from the gates.
“She showed a really good turn of foot and I never thought we were going to get beaten, so there’s plenty of upside with her.”
The victory was the second success from our last three runners, with JETTY’s fourth in the Listed Tails Stakes (1600m) sandwiched in the middle.
