The bluebloods fought out the finish of the 1100m maiden at Gosford on Tuesday but it was the four year-old debutant mare that got the job done impressively.
Viennoiserie, a home bred for Gerry Harvey’s Baramul Stud was kicking her career off as a four year-old, having only seen the trials for the first time less than a month ago.
