Hitotsu enters record books with Guineas success
Hitotsu won the Australian Guineas at Flemington on Saturday. He is the first horse to win the Victoria Derby and Australian Guinea in consecutive starts since Mahogany in 1994. His trainer David Eustace was worried about his horse's speed. Jockey John Allen was confident in his jockey. The Kevin Corstens-trained Bon's A Pearla finished third.
Hitotsu won the Australian Guineas. He earned another $600,000 winner's cheque. Maher and Eustace will decide on an All-Star Mile start for Hitotsus. Pinstriped finished fifth in the race.
Millane won on debut at Flemington. Crystal Pegasus impressed again with Jamie Kah guiding the Chris Waller-trained Gelding to an emphatic win in the Roy Higgins Quality over 2600m. Rose Quartz was heavily supported at $2.20. Bermadez was the second favourite and held off the favourite. Overpass was heaviest backed favourite on the Flemmons card. Hitotsu moved from $26 to $18 for the Melbourne Cup, $8 into $4.50 for Australian Derby, and $6 into $11 for All-Star Mile.
