2023 Behemoth Stakes result

Recent runnings of the Behemoth Stakes:

• 2023: See You In Heaven justifies favouritism
  See You In Heaven passed her first test as a four-year-old with authority, winning the 2023 $150,000 Group 3 Behemoth Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville. Sent off as the hot favourite, the locally trained sprinter-miler, confidently ridden by Jake Toeroek from the extreme outside barrier, was always in an ideal position to contend. After turning for home well within striking distance, See You In Heaven quickly took control and secured her fifth career win with ease. Group 1 winner Savatoxl chased See You In Heaven all the way to finish second. The Alice Springs-based eight-year-old, who led early as expected, was no match once See You In Heaven hit her stride. Third place went to Manhattan Times, by Manhattan Rain, who made good ground late but never posed a genuine threat.
• 2022: Calypso Reign spoils Behemoth three-peat
  David Jolly had mixed emotions as his Group 1-winning star Behemoth was soundly beaten by improving stablemate Calypso Reign in the Group 3 Spring Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville. The Spring Stakes, sponsored by Grand Syndicates, who race both Jolly representatives, saw Behemoth miss the start by two lengths and struggle on the Heavy 9 track, finishing 11th in the 13-horse field. Calypso Reign ($13) thrived in the rain-affected conditions, defeating Pindaric ($7.50) by over two lengths. Pimm’s Party ($14) finished third, adding value to the exotics.
• 2021: Behemoth wins on protest
  Drama abounded in the Group 3 Spring Stakes (1200m) as Behemoth overturned a racetrack defeat to Beau Rossa in the stewards’ room, while Dalasan didn’t make it to the barriers on Saturday. Beau Rossa, ridden by Todd Pannell and trained by Will Clarken, led throughout the weight-for-age sprint, finishing a nose ahead of last year’s Spring Stakes winner, Behemoth. However, in the final 100 metres, Beau Rossa shifted several horses away from the inside rail, hampering Behemoth. Racing SA chairman of stewards, Greg Rudolph, upheld the protest lodged by Behemoth’s rider, Kayla Crowther, delivering the verdict within minutes.
