The $300,000 Group II ATC Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on Saturday looked like it would be an easy assignment for Golden Slipper winning filly Marhoona, but the race favourite came up short when fading for third to progressive colts Hidden Motive and Beadman.
Worth $500,000, the ATC Tapp Craig (1400m) run at Rosehill on Saturday is one of the controversial races billed as being Black Type by Racing NSW, but unrecognized by various international industry bodies and the winner this year is well related I Am Invincible colt Ohope, who carries the colours of Godolphin.
