Spartan performance from Maestro illuminates Night Of Stars
t was billed as a match between Sparta Maestro, the track record holder over this trip, and Ballymac Eske, the prolific British tracker boasting track records over 525 yards at Monmore and over 547 yards at Nottingham. And it didn’t disappoint.
Ballymac Eske, drawn one, broke the better of the two, but Sparta Maestro, drawn six, showed the superior early pace to take a length lead into the opening bend, by which time they had already opened up an advantage over the other four runners.
