Recent runnings of the Bletchingly Stakes:
-
Despite being poor on face value first-up, Godolphin’s Ingratiating was a smart winner in the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield. The four-year-old son of Frosted finished midfield when beaten 3.6 lengths in the Group 3 Sir John Monash Stakes (1100m) when first-up off a 34-week spell. Given a perfect ride from Blake Shinn, Ingratiating ($4.20) found the winner’s circle for the first time since his win in an 1100m sprint at Caulfield on September 17, 2022. He had been racing in much tougher company than what he faced in the Bletchingly and class managed to shine through when it mattered most, getting the better of leader General Beau ($4) and the fast-finishing It’sourtime ($4.60). Despite giving General Beau a four-length head start upon turning, Ingratiating dug deep to claim the leader inside the final 50m.
-
Top Melbourne jockey Jye McNeil could not have wished for a better opening, pouncing on a dream crease in the field 300m out, to win the $200,000 Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes aboard King Of Sparta. It didn’t come without a struggle, only edging out Scallopini for Steven O’Dea and Matthew Hoysted on the line in the Group 3 sprint over 1200m at Caulfield. After conceding the lead early, McNeil deliberately waited for his opportunity after rounding the turn and pounced when the opportunity came. King Of Sparta’s time of 1:10.88 on a Soft 7 was a respectable effort for race eight on the program, after race seven was conducted in Soft 6 conditions 35 minutes earlier.
-
Phillip Stokes’ Sansom, returning from a lengthy hiatus, triumphed in a fiercely competitive 2021 $160,000 Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield. After his last outing in February, where he finished sixth in the Shaftesbury Avenue Stakes at Flemington, the talented four-year-old gelding commenced his new campaign in stellar form. Despite starting from the second widest barrier in a field of 12, Sansom settled just ahead of midfield early on under the guidance of jockey Ben Allen. Approaching the final turn, Allen maneuvered Sansom wide, positioning him for a decisive run down the home stretch. In a nail-biting finish, Sansom surged down the centre of the track, narrowly clinching victory on the post ahead of Streets Of Avalon.
-
A rails-hugging ride from champion jockey Damien Oliver has helped favourite Viridine to a determined victory in Melbourne’s final stakes race of the 2019-20 season at Caulfield. The James Cummings-trained Viridine was the $2.70 favourite in the weight-for-age Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) and Oliver was able to position the sprinter midfield early before improving to be in a position to strike entering the home straight. Oliver was able to take a run along the fence to the inside of Great Again in the straight and Viridine went on to defeat Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) winner Streets Of Avalon, who was first-up from a spell, by three-quarters of a length. Great Again held on for third, another long neck away.
