Mizlecki Eases to Another Listed Win In Old Comrade Stakes

3 minute read

Talented mare Mizlecki secured her fourth Listed race with a runaway win in the Old Comrade Stakes (1600m) at Ascot on Saturday.

Trained by Fred Kersley, Mizlecki ($2.80) became the third winner of the day for Daniel Staeck when striding clear to score by four-and-a-quarter lengths.

Properantes ($31) edged Variation ($2.20) out for second.

There was a sensation before the race when favourite Tellem We're Comin dumped William Pike on leaving the mounting yard and was a late scratching.

It was Mizlecki's first win since claiming the Belmont Oaks last July but she was primed for it after three runs this time in including a last-start fourth in the Grandstand Cup.

Kersley said the four-year-old deserved to get another win on the board.

"She's been a terrific little mare over her career and look forward to her in some better races as time goes by," he said.

"It's good that she's come back because she did fracture a fetlock joint last year and she races with three spurs in a leg but despite all of those issues she's come here today and done a pretty good job."

Mizlecki not only had the perfect run throughout, she surged clear in the straight for the easiest of wins, her sixth total including four stakes. She settled third and was in the clear one off the rail to the 500m before peeling out three wide turning in. Into the straight she co-led with two others, pushed out by a length soon after but inside the 200m waltzed clear and went to the line untested. Properantes sat fifth at the 600m, moved one out rounding into the straight, switched back toward the fence at the 200m and did best of the distant rest to just hold second in a photo from Variation, who co-led turning in and battled away the length of the straight for third.
