2023 Sandown Stakes result



1stAntino (-285.71)
2ndHere To Shock (-500)
3rdSuperium (+470)

Recent runnings of the Sandown Stakes:

  • Tony Gollan and Antino ($1.35) put a disaster at Flemington the start prior behind them to take out the Group 3 Sandown Stakes, with new rider Blake Shinn giving the heavily backed favourite a lovely ride. The choice to go to Sandown and race against a field that was not near the quality of a typical Group 3 field during the middle of spring, turned out to be the perfect way to get the son of Redwood’s confident back. The second and third favourites, Here To Shock ($3.90) and Golden Path ($9.50) set up a hot tempo out in front and as they rounded the home turn, it looked as though they had a good margin. However, once Shinn pushed the button and asked for the an effort at the 300m mark, he showed his quality and went straight past Here To Shock, whilst Superium ($81.00) finished over the top of Golden Path to claim third place.
  • Gentleman Roy led from barrier to box in the Group 3 Sandown Stakes as Jye McNeil piloted the Ben and JD Hayes-trained gelding to his first group win of his 13 start career. After jumping away cleanly McNeil had Gentleman Roy in front of the fancied Military Expert and Dragon Leap for the entirety of the 1500m event, with the fast finishing Pinstriped flying home to nab third from the tiring Dragon Leap. The Lindsay Park galloper move his record to seven wins and four minor placings from his 13 starts.
  • After suffering a narrow defeat in the Group 2 Feehan Stakes, the Emma-Lee and David Browne-trained Elephant bounced back in style, securing victory in the Group 3 Sandown Stakes. Ridden by Damian Lane, the five-year-old son of Melbourne Cup champion Shocking surged to the front at the 300-meter mark and maintained a powerful gallop, ultimately winning by 1.25 lengths over Romancer, with Harbour Views finishing two lengths behind in third. Following a successful start to his career in New Zealand, where he won his first four races, Elephant made his Australian debut with a victory at Caulfield before narrowly losing to Superstorm in the Feehan Stakes.
  • Junipal, under the guidance of John Allen, returned to winning form with a decisive victory in the Sandown Stakes. The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained five-year-old redeemed himself after an unplaced run in the Group 1 Toorak Handicap. Before the Toorak at Caulfield, Junipal had secured two consecutive wins by comfortable margins, and he found his stride once again in the Group 3 feature. The $3.10 favorite, Kenya, carrying 55.5kg with Jye McNeil aboard, attempted to establish a winning lead off the turn, holding a two-length advantage at the 400-metre mark. However, Junipal and Allen launched a powerful run to seize the lead at the 100-metre mark.
