Starcraft just won the Mudgway Stakes Group 1 1400m race in 1:22.56 (Firm track). He crossed from barrier 12 of 16 to sit mid field. Was ~8-10 lengths off leaders (Kalamata and Miss Potential) at turn with 2 furlongs to run. Stormed down outer with a massive turn of foot to score by 1/2 length. Miss Potential and Kalamata fought out 2nd and 3rd respectively after both disputing the lead. The rest of the NZ horses weren't in the hunt. They aren't good enough over the sprint distances at the end of the day.
Starcraft will stay in NZ for the Stoney Bridge 18 September and then the $1,000,000 Kelt Capital Stakes
