I Am Me ($2.80) and Big Parade ($4) both turned for home in contention for victory, with the former able to sprint away with the prize. This left Dragonstone ($26) chasing on a three-wide line, while Deepour ($18) and Argentia ($19) fought out the finish for third. I Am Me was sensational in the end though, cruising to victory under Tim Clark who utilised the speed of this very progressive five-year-old mare, making every post a winner in the process. 2022: Hard Empire causes major boilover Hard Empire caused an upset for the ages in the Group 2 Missile Stakes at Royal Randwick. Sent out as a $101 outsider with online bookmakers, Hard Empire wound back the clock to finish stronger than anything else, beating a quality field which included two Group 1 winners. After turning into the straight with just four behind him, Hard Empire was brought to the middle of the track under Rachel King, before letting down with a supreme turn of foot and bringing up his first win since December, 2020. Trained by the Gold Coast’s Toby & Trent Edmonds, Hard Empire was said to be going as well as ever, so his shock win wasn’t that big of a shock to the two men in charge. 2021: Phobetor finishes best Gold Coast trainer Michael Costa celebrated a significant victory at Randwick on Saturday as Phobetor, guided by Tommy Berry, surged to claim the Group 2 Missile Stakes (1200m). Despite facing more seasoned rivals, Phobetor’s previous second place in the Listed Ramornie over 1200m at Grafton demonstrated his potential. Berry expertly guided Phobetor into a strategic position behind the front-runner, Fasika (55.5kg), and made a decisive move in the straight. With a burst of speed, the lightly raced Dream Ahead gelding accelerated through a tight gap between Fasika and a fading Kolding, clinching victory with a half-length margin. 2020: Eduardo continues to impress in Sydney A Group Two winner in Melbourne, Eduardo arrived at Joe Pride’s stable prior to his 2020 spring campaign, and repaid his trainer. Renowned for his skill in rejuvenating the careers of older horses, Pride has now guided the gelding to successive wins in the July Sprint and the 2020 Group 2 Missile Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill. It was Pride’s third success in the race after wins by Rain Affair in 2011 and again two years later. In a field reduced to six by scratchings, Nash Rawiller aboard Eduardo ($2.30) took control and the horse was game to the line to claim several high-profile scalps. James Cummings just fell short of producing a two-state feature race double after winning the Aurie’s Star Stakes at Flemington with Home Of The Brave. The Godolphin head trainer saddled up Flit ($4) and was thrilled with her effort to finish 1.5 lengths away second after looming in the straight.
