3 minute read

Cliff's Edge wins 2017 Ladbrokes Classic Group 3 $350,000 at Caulfield (VIC), 2000m.

Cliff's Edge winning the Ladbrokes Classic Picture: Racing and Sports

Going comfortably down the side Allen held him together then let out the reins a little at the 600m. Into the straight they added more pressure and broke away and had them all in trouble past the 150m and never gave the chasers a chance, scoring easily by two and three quarter lengths.

Tangled lay third (rails) most of the way, pulled out to challenge into the straight yet never looked like overhauling the winner, holding a clear second at the wire from Main Stage, who moved closer from midfield turning in then battled away to barely hold on, a well back third in line with Aberro and Eshtiraak at the post.
