ORMOND ROAD GALLANT IN WARSTEP STAKES DEFEAT
Tony Bambry's filly Ormond Road was very brave in just failing to hold out the Murray and Bjorn Baker filly Fast Love in the recent Warstep Stakes run at Christchurch on April 16th. Ormond Road had to come around runners turning for home and reached the lead just on straightening but could not hold of the challenge of Fast Love going down by a short neck in the final strides.

Third was the well bred So Devine who is a full sister to the good horse Monaco Consul. The time for the race was one and a half seconds quicker than the other to races on the day including the Group 3 Canterbury Gold Cup showing the quality of the first three fillies home.
