Ofcourseican wins 2012 Coolmore Classic

Kathy O’Hara has won her first Group 1 race in today’s Coolmore Classic at Rosehill racecourse on Ron Quinton trained daughter of Mossman ‘Ofcourseican’.

Ofcourseican settled in the back of the field during the race, Kathy O’Hara pulled her ride to the outside heading around the turn which is where Manighar won from in the previous race and was too strong for gallant Secret Admirer who fought hard with 58kg in the final stages.

There was a protest submitted by Michelle Payne who rode Yosei and finished fourth although due the the winning margin of 1.5L it was dismissed so placings stood as is.

Results:

1st: Ofcourseican

2nd: Secret Admirer

3rd: King’s Rose
