2024 Carbine Club Stakes (AJC) result

Recent runnings of the Carbine Club Stakes (AJC):

• 2024: Ducasse finishes best
  Blake Shinn continued his outstanding form with a perfectly judged ride aboard Ducasse in the 2024 Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) at Randwick. Jumping from barrier one, Shinn allowed the Michael Freedman-trained colt to settle comfortably behind the speed, with longshots The Years and Hi Dandy setting a genuine tempo up front. As the field approached the home turn, Shinn seized the opportunity to angle Ducasse between the tiring leaders, taking control of the race at the 300m mark. Mchale loomed on his inside momentarily, but Ducasse found plenty in the closing stages. Despite late challenges from Tanhauser and Kintyre out wide, Ducasse proved too strong over the mile, holding them off to score a well-deserved win. The son of Trapeze Artist showcased his staying ability and determination in what was a competitive edition of the Carbine Club Stakes.
• 2023: The Fortune Teller lifts late
  The Fortune Teller made a statement in wet conditions on Day 1 of the 2023 Championships, surging late to claim victory in the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) at Randwick. With the Randwick track downgraded from a Soft 6 to a Heavy 8 following the opening event, punters rallied behind favourite Macha Latte. The market move appeared justified as Macha Latte kicked clear at the 200m mark, looking every bit the winner. But jockey Tom Marquand had other ideas. Timing his run to perfection, Marquand steered The Fortune Teller up the inside, unleashing a strong finish to reel in Macha Latte and take the lead in the final 50m. The son of Caravaggio had not previously raced on a Heavy track and had yet to win over the mile, but the performance confirmed his ability to handle testing conditions and run out a strong 1600 metres.
• 2022: Straight Arron justifies favouritism
  Chris Waller won his third Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) in four years after Straight Arron ($2.15) and James McDonald combined to take out the 2022 edition. Settling second last after jumping from barrier eight, the lightly raced three-year-old Fastnet Rock gelding started peeling around the field three wide at the 600m before winding up down the outside and unleashing a brilliant run on the Heavy 9 track. Straight Arron managed to career away from the rest of the field for an impressive 2.66-length victory ahead of the Danny Williams-trained Jalmari ($10) with Cap Estel ($5.50) 3.06-lengths 3rd for Anthony Cummings.
