Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 18, 2023 Journalists Share Posted March 18, 2023 The UK visitor Dubai Honour was super impressive first-up in Australia handing trainer William Haggas with a second Group 1 $1 million Ranvet Stakes (2000m) success on Golden Slipper Day in Sydney. Haggas won the race back in 2020 with Addeybb who went on to win that year’s Queen Elizabeth Stakes during Randwick’s ‘The Championships’. The $5 million Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) held on April 8 is now also on the cards for this year’s runaway Ranvet Stakes champion Dubai Honour who put a nearly five length margin on a very good field of Aussies. Jockey Ryan Moore jetted in for the ride at Rosehill Gardens, and in his first look at the track posted his incredible 169th Group 1 success. Moore got Dubai Honour into a gun position early third the fence settled just behind the leading duo of Hinged and Mo’unga. Relishing the pace injected into the race approaching the home turn by rival hoop Nash Rawiller on Mo’unga, Moore was able to get four off the fence and charge home once off the back of the front-running Hinged. Into the clear after first levelling up to the mare with 200m to go, Pride Of Dubai five-year-old Dubai Honour was massive the closing stages storming home to win by over four lengths on a very hot day in Sydney. Putting to bed any doubts he could handle a firm track in Australia Dubai Honour ran through the line well defeating last year’s winning mare Montefilia who worked her way into the race from the 600m to get up into a distant second. Mo’unga off his on-speed run throughout held for third as the beaten favourite for trainer Annabel Neasham. Dubai Honour will now look to emulate the fellow Haggas-trained Addeybb and complete the Ranvet – Queen Elizabeth double. All-in 2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes betting at Ladbrokes have the visitor into $3.50 sitting behind only Anamoe.
