The moved in quickly and formed a good line and then the starter released them and the field thundered into action. It was Jenna\u2019s Deputy who took up the early running from In Position and Day of a New Start, with the eventual <st1:place w:st=\"on\"><st1:PlaceName w:st=\"on\">winner<\/st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st=\"on\">Sea<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> King Cyclone settling well in 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> place 4-5 lengths from the leader. At the top of the stretch Jenna\u2019s Deputy began to tire and dropped back through the field with the strong runs coming from Paler Jesus and Sea King Cyclone, they swept to the front with only \u00be of a length between them. It was a dig dong battle down the stretch but in the end Sea King Cyclone was always in control and he drew away in the shadows of the post to win by 1 \u00bc lengths from Paper Jesus with Jenna\u2019s Deputy hanging on for a good third place. <\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Sea King Cyclone won his 6<SUP>th<\/SUP> race from 15 starts and recorded a 99 speed figure and raised his stake earnings to $540,360.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Ydracing3 said after the race \u201cWe were always a bit concerned about the 2 week break and the travel coming from <st1:country-region w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">Australia<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>, he recovered well and has won the race so we are very happy. It was a tough race and Paper Jesus certainly put it to him in the stretch but he was too strong. He will probably have a few weeks off now and then we can look for a suitable race, it is hard to place him as there are not a lot of 3yo turf sprints around\u201d. <\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Certainly a good win and there should be many more for this guy. <\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Simon<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sea King Cyclone blows them away<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/328"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4268\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
