John McNair trained Hay List has taken out today’s Group 1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington racecourse in which the son of Statue Of Liberty carried top weight of 58.5kg.
Last week there was doubt whether Hay List would take part in the race due to the handicapper giving the 6YO top weight in the race, McNair described the handicapping of Hay List as “beyond ridiculous” while managing owner Terry Davenport said it was “a shock to the system” but the risk has paid dividends for connections when he nosed out Buffering on the line to win the $1 million dollar race.
Foxwedge ran a very gallant third in a group of some eye catching runs most evidently were those of Phelan Ready and Woorim who finished fourth and fifth respectively.
