Trained by Peter Moody, who was in Sydney to saddle his Group I ATC TJ Smith Stakes winner I Am I Wish, Waltz on By improved at her third run back from a spell.

She powered home to win by a long neck taking her overall record to three wins from 10 starts with prizemoney topping $320,000.

 

Waltz on By is the second foal and second winner from Street Cry (IRE) mare Stay With Me, who won the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas and is the best of six winners from Arrowfield Stud’s Champion 2YO and 3YO Filly Miss Finland.
