Tentyris wins to press claims for G1 Coolmore

Co-trainer Sam Freedman is hoping the pre-Golden Slipper injury to Tentyris has worked in the handsome colt’s favour as he continues his path towards the G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes down the Flemington straight 1,200m course in a fortnight.

Tentyris showed his finishing strength with a remarkable victory in the Listed Gothic Stakes 1,200m at Caulfield on Saturday at just his second start this preparation.

Second-last on the home turn in the field of seven, Tentyris charged to the line to beat Raging Force by a half-length, with Sheza Alibi 1.5 lengths away in third place.

The three-year-old covered the distance in 1 minute 9.35 seconds for jockey Mark Zahra and is now on course for the Coolmore on 1 November.

The Anthony and Sam Freedman-prepared colt lifted his record to three wins and two placings from six starts for prize-money and bonuses totalling $768,100, notching his third Stakes victory in the process.
