Sleeping Beauty followed on
from her Gr.3 Rotorua Stakes victory six weeks previously with her Classic success
to take her record to 10 wins from 23 starts and prizemoney earnings in excess
of $238,000."She's just so versatile and can handle any ground, she's just a really good racehorse," commented co-trainer Andrew Scott.
"It is very encouraging so fingers crossed we can crack on to the Gr.2 Foxbridge Plate and those early season stakes races."
Rip Van Winkle was also
represented by two further winners at Riccarton on Saturday where this seasons
stakes winner Lil Miss Swiss recorded her sixth win – and fifth for the season
- in the Amberley Cup over 1600m.
