Emancipation wins $40,000 stakes
NZPA Sydney The class of the Bletchingly line shone through again when the mare, Emancipation, won the $40,000 Chelmsford Stakes over 1600 m at Warwick Farm on Saturday. Emancipation, the first of her sex to win the race in the last 20 years, scored in a bob-of-the-head finish.
The jockey, Ron Quinton, admitted Emancipation, 5-to-one favourite, was “flat out” when she scrambled home from the Tommy Smith-trained Chiamare by half a head.
The trainer, Neville Begg, who has guided Emancipation to 12 wins from 15 starts, admitted before the result was posted that he 1
favoured Chiamare. The win gave the star sire, Bletchingly, his third success in the Chelmsford in four years. His son, Kingston Town, won the race in 1980 and 1981. Kingston Town was a hot favourite for the race last year but finished out of a place after being caught on the rails until the race was all but over. Begg said after the race he was not disappointed with the performance and said Emancipation would have her next start in the $50,000 George Main Stakes (1600 m at Eagle Farm on September 24. He said her main Sydney aim would be the $120,000 Epsom Handicap (1600 m at Randwick on October 1.
