It has been a long time between drinks for the three-year-old Choisir filly Every Rose.
The flashy chestnut won the first two-year-old stakes race of the season, the Listed Gimcrack Stakes at Randwick back in October 2019. It has been slim pickings in six starts since although she rarely runs a bad race.
Every Rose leads all the way (Steve Hart)
Saturday’s Group II Light Fingers Stakes might be a turning point for the Darby Racing colour-bearer.
Given a positive ride by Josh Parr, the Mark Newnham-trained filly led at every call to defeat Never Talk (No Nay Never) by a half-neck with Away Game (Snitzel) a short-neck back in third.
"Her best runs have been when she is allowed to gallop," Newnham said.
"She won the Gimcrack in similar fashion then just got beaten by King's Legacy in Brisbane doing that.
"It was heart in the mouth stuff. I was very confident at the corner but it was just a matter of whether her condition would hold out."
Bred by Wallings Bloodstock, Every Rose is a half-sister to two metropolitan winners being from Couredge, a half-sister by Show a Heart to Group II winner Vintedge and stakes-winner Youths Edge.
