All In Vogue wins 2017 Cambridge T’bred Wanganui Cup Listed NZ$50,000 at Wanganui (NZ), 2040m.
All In Vogue found the one-out, one back sit with a circuit to run and maintained that position down the back straight. Rider Leah Hemi urged the mare a little closer approaching the last corner and when they straightened were ready to challenge three wide.
A few strides were needed before running up to take over, Hemi then put the whip away in the last 75m, easing clear over the final stages to win with a neck to spare at the line.
Blathwayt sat sixth, one out down the back. He then tracked the winner to the last corner and straightened to challenge, four deep. He looked a danger at the 100m but was outstayed.
Balham sat third (rails) down the back, was blocked at the 250m then ran on steadily to be just another half neck back.
