The 2010 The Run To The Rose proved to punters it often pays to back the favourite, as wagerers at Sportsbet discovered on Saturday afternoon.

Gai Waterhouse’s Squamosa headed into the weekend’s feature as the favourite with SportsBet, and didn’t fail to deliver. The win maintains the colt’s unbeaten record as he defeated the previously unbeaten Masquerader into second place.

The 2010 The Run To The Rose victory dealt the three-year-old his first Group win, marking the same achievement for Blake Shiggs in the hot seat. The apprentice jockey was remarkable as he led his mount with confidence.

Shiggs guided Squamosa to the front of the field soon after the jump, and didn’t lose his control when the field levelled with Testarhythm in barrier eight posing a potential threat.

Instead the hoop bided his time, and pounced 300 metres from the finish to power home and claim victory by over a length.

David Payne’s Masquerader made a surge in the closing stages, but it was a case of too little too late and instead finished second best. Payne was disappointed with the result and believed the crucial moment came 300 metres out as jockey Glyn Schoffield dropped his inside rein.

The Rosehill-based trainer is counting down the days to the rematch, as the duo face-off once more in the $1 million Group One Golden Rose (1400m) on August 28.

Masquerader is leading the early market odds at $4.40 for the win with SportsBet while the 2010 The Run To The Rose winner Squamosa is slightly out at $5.50 for the win. So make sure to head to SportsBet to make the most of these lucrative markets!

Also taking place at the Rosehill Gardens Racecourse were seven other superb races, all forming part of the anticipated spring racing carnival.

2010 The Run To The Rose Results

The scheduled highlight was the $600, 000 Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) where Alverta gave trainer Paul Messara his first Group 1 success.

The talented Flying Spur mare stared at generous odds of $18 after having only recently returned to racing since failing to get into foal since her spring retirement.

Alverta, who had also given Messara his first metropolitan win and his maiden stakes victory, proved her trainer’s decision to race her again a brilliant one as she claimed a two length victory ahead of the Gai Waterhouse-trained Gold Water ($17) with Palacio De Cristal, the $5.50 favourite, in third.

Earlier in the day, the first Group 1 feature at the Rosehill meeting took place, the $400, 000 Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m). Premier Sydney trainer Gai Waterhouse took out the staying feature with her classy gelding Theseo, winner of the feature last year.

Theseo become just the fourth horse in history to win back-to-back Ranvet Stakes and is proving one of the stars of the 2010 autumn carnival as he was coming off a last start win in the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes.

Other highlights on the day included race three, where Gillian Heinrich’s brilliant filly Military Rose stormed into Golden Slipper favouritism when she toyed with her rivals to claim an emphatic victory in the $300, 000 Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m).

Military Rose has now won all five of her career starts and her unbeaten record and easy win ahead of high quality two-year-olds including John O’Shea’s Solar Charged who placed third on Saturday has seen her shorten to the $3.20 favourite with IASbet for the world’s richest race for two-year-olds on April 3.

Following Military Rose’s impressive victory, in race four at the Rosehill races on Saturday the David Payne-trained Masquerader maintained his unbeaten record winning his second race start in the $300, 000 Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m).

In the $150, 000 Group 2 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) Les Bridge’s six-year-old Nothin’ Leica Dane mare Hot Danish proved she still had plenty of steam, defeating a classy field including runner-up Black Piranha.

The final Group feature race of the day took place as race eight just after the Coolmore Classic. The $150, 000 Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m) was won by the Peter Moody-trained Redoute’s Choice colt Tickets.

The victory gave the leading Caulfield trainer a small victory on a day filled with disappointment, including the scratching of his filly Set For Fame, an early favourite for the Coolmore Classic.

Race Results – Rosehill – Saturday March 20, 2010:

The first race of the day, the Golden Slipper Festival on Sale Handicap (1100m) was taken out in style by two-year-old One More Grand, the small colt defeating a quality field including runner-up Rock My Heart by nearly four lengths and third placegetter Much Much More.

Another notable win on the day included the Peter Snowden-trained Pinwheel in race two, the Rosehill Gardens Event Centre Handicap (1200m), which gave the unbeaten runner a hat-trick of victories. Ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, the favourite at $1.60 managed to beat home the Chris Waller-trained Gangitano ($12) by four-and-a-half lengths with Malambo ($10) in third.

Snowden also saw some success in race three, the $250 000 Jackpot BIG6 Handicap (1400m), the trainer taking out second and third placings with Aultone and Counterpane behind the David Payne-trained winner Girl Hussler; as well as taking out race five, the Canterbury Park Event Centre Handicap, with his horse Renaissance.

The next meeting at Rosehill will be tomorrow’s barrier trials, with 14 heats taking place from 8:15am – 10:25am. The Guy Walter-trained Hood will draw a bit of attention in Heat 10 (900m), the three-year-old a half brother to the former champion racehorse Tie The Knot, a 13 time Group 1 winner.
