HUE AND CRY REDDING FULL

Joseph O’Brien followed in his legendary father’s footsteps who won the race with Adelaide in 2014, while for Johnny Allen it was a full circle moment, winning the Ladbrokes Cox Plate exactly nine years to the day after he rode his very first flat winner at St. State Of Rest was officially awarded the 2021 Ladbrokes Cox Plate, becoming only the second ever Irish-trained winner of our great race. Craig Williams rightfully fired in a protest immediately after the race, due to interference State Of Rest caused Anamoe at the 150 metre mark, but after a nail-biting 30 minute deliberation – the stewards finally dismissed the protest. The official winning margin was 0.1L, and it was without doubt one of the best finishes we have ever witnessed at The Valley. They went head-to-head for the entire straight, stride for stride with the ultimate glory awaiting them at the finish line, but it was State Of Rest who got his head down on the post and prevailed. With Verry Elleegant wobbling around the turn, it was down to the colts State Of Rest and Anamoe to fight it out. Verry Elleegant circled them and loomed ominously as a danger, while Craig Williams on Anamoe had pinched all the breaks and found a terrific inside run. It was the moment that, had there been a crowd, their seats still would have been empty. “Running through them State Of Rest!” Matt Hill’s voice increased a few decibels as the Irish horse got the split and shot to the lead. State Of Rest travelled sweetly in sixth, and once Johnny Allen angled off and found the gap – the son of Starspangledbanner exploded to the front in the twinkling of an eye. As is the case with many a Cox Plate we have ever seen, the moves came 600 metres out, the pressure rose, and the heavyweights hit top gear. Little until they got to the school side of course. Looking to become the first Caulfield Guineas since Red Anchor to win the Cox Plate in the same season, Anamoe was second last, while champion mare Verry Elleegant spotted the speed twelve lengths at the tail of the field. He had Callsign Mav and Dalasan parked behind him, with the next trio Mo’unga, Probabeel and State Of Rest two lengths further back. With the scratching of French import Gold Trip on the Friday and then the sensational withdrawal of long time favourite Zaaki early Saturday morning, the immediate build-up to the 2021 Ladbrokes Cox Plate certainly wasn’t as we had planned it.īut, if you thought the race was going to be lacking due to the reduced field, your doubts were put to rest in swift fashion.Īustralia’s Best Race delivered in spades, as it always does, and although for the second year running we were unable to host a crowd, the drama-filled edition that was #CoxPlate101 will go down in the history books forever.Ĭaptivant used barrier 1 and led them at a good gallop throughout.
