Jockey B Wu asked Supapogs8\u2019s Champion colt Rizla Green for his best move entering the final turn of the 12 furlong Grade-1, and that is exactly what he got, a perfectly-timed powerful bold move, that inhaled the leaders and propelled Rizla Green to a \u201cstunning\u201d 3 length win over an exceptionally talented field of 3 year olds.<\/FONT><\/P>

\u00a0<\/FONT><\/o:p><\/P>

At the break Udhen\u2019s colt Overindulgence quickly assumed the lead with a \u201cbrisk\u201d opening quarter of 22:78, followed by Gudenus\u2019s filly Taluima, Lgbost9y\u2019s Impactic and Iant\u2019s Frozen Spirit. By the 4 furlong call it was apparent that Overindulgence would be able to control the lead, as his 46:12 pace had opened a 2 \u00bd length lead over Taluima, both Impactic and Frozen Spirit were starting to struggle to keep up. Rizla Green was covered up nicely in 8th<\/SUP> position, saving ground, patiently biding his time. As the field entered the final turn, Overindulgence was really rolling and opened up a 4 \u00be length advantage over the now starting to fade Taluima, Rizla Green was now quickly picking off the stragglers and by the head of the stretch only Taluima and Overindulgence were between him and the Finish Line,\u00a0as Propertyof\u2019s Adventures was\u00a0now starting to unleash a \u201cfurious\u201d stretch rally, passing horses rapidly, trying desperately to catch the two leaders. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Midway thru the stretch, it became apparent that it was a race for 2nd<\/SUP> as Rizla Green had too much left and his 4 length lead was too much to overcome, with one last desperate lunge Adventures caught the struggling, but valiant Overindulgence by the length of his neck to secure the place in a photo.<\/FONT><\/P>
