Heza Sport books his Cup Day ticket

Heza Sport won the Maurice Holmes Vase on Friday night. The race had six lead changes inside the first lap and quarter. Colin De Filippi handled Heza Sports. Heisenberg had found the top but was under siege from Laver. He is guaranteed a spot in the New Zealand Cup on the second Tuesday in November.

Heza Sport won the Maurice Holmes Vase in 3:12.7. It was the gelding's seventh win in just 16 starts. Midnight Dash won in the inaugural Basil Dean Free For All Trot. Majestic Man couldn't cross The Dominator. Enghien and Love You won.   The Dominicator couldn’t get to the lane. The Greg & Nina Hope trained pair of Engien (Love You) and MidnightDash won it.

Majestic Man came second in the Middle Night Dash. Charlie Brown (Art Major) won the third race. He is a close relative of millionaire Gold Ace. Heza Sport books his Cup Day ticket. The betting was very strong on the Phil Williamson-trained runner Majestic man.
