Jacquetta wins 2014 Barneswood Farm Agistment Stks Listed NZ$50,000 at Riccarton Park (NZ) 2yo, 1000m.
Jockey Chris Johnson made attempts to have the favourite Jacquetta settle behind the first three, but instead gave the filly her head to range three wide on the pace coming onto the course proper at the 500m. Jacquetta was let stride to lead at the 200m and held her rivals at bay under a hands and heels ride.
From sixth in running, Peach Cove was held in a pocket when looking for room to the outside of Jacquetta in the straight and once clear at the 100m she finished solidly for second.
Travelling widest near the pace in fifth, Outlaw Kate kept up a determined effort for third.
