Deserved change of luck for Suzie

There was real drama in the final of the Gain Feeds Select Stakes on Saturday night at Waterford, from which the tremendously consistent Southest Suzie emerged victorious for Daniel Frayne of Wexford.

In a race packed with early pace, something had to give and, unfortunately, two runners tumbled out of the race as they turned into the backstraight. Laurels winner Vimmerby held a narrow lead over Newlawn Impact, with Farloe Calvin also very close as they galloped the opening bends.

The three tangled at the entrance to the back stretch, at which point Vimmerby and Newlawn Impact were both knocked over. That left Farloe Calvin in front, with Southest Suzie assuming second position as they raced for halfway.
