Recent Theo Marks Stakes results

  • The Chris Waller-trained Kiku flew home down the outside to nab Mr Mozart ($3.60) and Prime Candidate ($11) in the 2022 Theo Marks Stakes at Rosehill. The five-year-old mare by Zoustar was sent out as an $18 hope with online bookmakers, but when the race favourites Mr Mozart and Ellsberg didn’t get ideal runs in transit, it set it up for the fast-finishing Kiku and Jason Collett to thunder home out wide. The win gave Chris Waller his fifth Theo Marks Stakes in the last 10 editions.
  • The John Thompson-trained Chat has caused a boil over in the Theo Marks Stakes, as the $31 outsider with most online bookmakers, finished over the top of Embracer ($15) in the final strides of the race. The odds-on race favourite Big Parade ($1.95) led the field up to the home turn, but as he reached the 300m mark, Embracer was looming large and went straight on by. Just when the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained gelding appeared to have the race within his keeping, Chat let down with an explosive turn of foot and reeled in the leader with 50m to go.
  • The Hawkes team and Tommy Berry combined with the heavily supported Wild Planet ($5.50) to take out the Theo Marks Stakes at Rosehill. After settling in sixth on the back of the race favourite Funstar ($3.90), the son of Animal Kingdom found a bit of trouble, but with the help of Berry, he found a needle eye gap to burst through. When Wild Planet got through the gap, he cut down the margin on Funstar and recorded a half-length victory, while Ranier ($12) flashed home and nabbed third place.
  • At her first start on the Eastern seaboard for Chris Waller, Arcadia Queen ($1.95) took out the Theo Marks Stakes as the raging favourite. McDonald settled the Western Australian star mare in third behind the leaders, and as the field rounded the home turn, he got her off the fence to chase down the runaway leader, Deploy ($21). The daughter of Pierro defeated the fast-finishing second favourite Trope ($5.50) and Gem Song ($15).
