GOSPEL GIRL MAKES SWEET MUSIC AT THE SUNNY COAST
Sunday, 10 Nov 2024
GOSPEL GIRL enhanced her impressive race record when she flew home at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday to register her second win from five starts.
Having only finished outside the first three on one occasion, the mare has been a model of consistency so far in her career and she promptly justified favouritism in the Benchmark 58 Handicap.
GOSPEL GIRL pinged the lids but jockey Ange Jones was keen to take a sit behind the leaders in the early stages of the 1200m contest.
Her patience was rewarded when a gap appeared in the home straight, and Jones got a great tune out of GOSPEL GIRL as the pair edged clear to score by half-a-length.
“It was great to see her win so comfortably today,” said Jones.
“She had a nice draw and the race panned out really well. We were able to take the box-seat and they went a nice gallop, which allowed her to relax really well in behind them. I was pretty confident at the top of the straight, and she sprinted really sharply when the gap presented. She put them away confidently, and hopefully she’ll go on with it now.”
Victory took her earnings close to $70,000 - a great return given we only paid $52,000 for her at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale.
