FLEM SEPT 04 - SOUL BARES HIS ALL TO WIN DANEHILL

By Taron Clarke | Sunday, September 5, 2010

Darley galloper Soul was rewarded for his consistency with a well earned victory in the Group Two Danehill Stakes at Flemington.

Run over the famous Flemington straight six, Soul was able to take his record to four starts for two wins and two seconds in just his first racetrack campaign.

The late scratching of Star Witness earlier in the day did not detract from the field with the two Queensland stars Military Rose and Buffering well fancied in the market. But punters could not go past the Vain Stakes form line from three weeks ago which saw Soul beaten less than half a length by Golden Rose victor, Toorak Toff.

Soul started favourite with punters in on course operations and the consistent son of Command was well away at barrier rise.

Run in glistening sunshine, the Danehill Stakes field came down the crown of the track in search of the better going.

Mark Zahra took the ride on the Peter Snowden trained galloper and elected to settle the gelding in the second half of the field, only four lengths off the early pacemaker who was Innocent Gamble.
