Race Synopsis:The winner of this G1 juvenile event was the Australian bred Sword Of State at $2.60 in a small field and only four of them had won a race or more. The colt once again led up and kicked right away to score by three and a half lengths in 1:09.55 to record his fourth win in five outings. The winners and where they came from on the home turn were seventh (seven-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader), ninth (one-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), fourth (three-off the inside and length and a half from the leader), led (one-off the inside and a length in front), led (two-off the inside and a length in front), led (one-off the inside and a neck in front), seventh (eight-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader), led (one-off the inside and half a lengths in front), led (four-off the inside and length and a half in front) and sixth (four-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader). Sword Of State has become the leading juvenile in New Zealand and cemented it with a clear cut success today. He had won a G3 by daylight prior to today. The only time he has been beaten was when third at G2 in what was a crazy run race up front and the closing winner clocked 1:08.40. Second home today but well beaten was the stablemate On The Bubbles, also an Australian bred. He had looked the leading juvenile after winning the Karaka Magic Million here but has been beaten out of sight in his last two runs by Sword Of State so has lost that crown for sure. Today he raced second the outer but was chasing the winner all the way and the closest he came was on the home turn before being dropped at the 200m. Third home was the filly Bonny Lass that was two-from-two until today but she found the boys a bit rich after trailing third the inner the whole way and was beaten five lengths. Fourth home was the only other runner in the field that had won a race namely Magneto and he raced fourth the outer the whole way and never really kicked on. The rest got beaten nine and a half lengths and as much as almost forty lengths. The winner has not just taken the mantle of leading juvenile in New Zealand this season he has run away with it and is second rating a few of his rivals now with each outing.
