Cool And Classy too nifty as she closes in on half million dollars

Outstanding filly Cool And Classy (Captaintreacherous) scored yet another brilliant harness racing win with an all the way success in the $100,000 Ladbrokes Sunshine Stars Yearling Sale Classic Final for two year old fillies at Albion Park on Friday evening.

A prohibitive favourite Cool And Classy was up early to eventually take over the running from London Baby. The Lady Dior was caught outside the leader while Ruby Rules from her second row draw was able to obtain a one out and two back trail.

Trista Dixon allowed Cool and Classy to freewheel in the lead and in running her final two quarters in 27.2 and 26.5 seconds was able to easily hold off her rivals.

Ruby Rules burst out from the pack and she finished strongly for second just under 12 metres from Cool And Classy with London Baby in third place.

COOL AND CLASSY NOV 21 REPLAY

Cool and Classy’s mile rate of 1.51.8 was notably faster than the colts and gelding division where they went 1.52.9.

The win gave the Dixons and Kevin and Kay Seymour as owners a winning double having taken out the three year old colts and geldings Final with Fight To The End.

Cool and Classy has shown herself to be one of the best three year old fillies in the land. Last season she prevailed in the Ladbrokes two year old fillies final and earlier this year she was a brilliant winner in the New South Wales Oaks Final.

Cool And Classy is out of the former good race mare Charming Allie. She won the QBred Triad Finals as a two and three year old as well as the Redcliffe Oaks and the QBred Breeders 4YO Mares final.

At stud Charming Allie has produced the elder full brother Captains Pick a winner of 22 races and Call To Order who earlier this year won the Group 2 Hayden classic.

Through virtue of her win, Cool and Classy has now won in the order of $482,000 and she will be a main contender in next year four year old mares classics as well as her stable mate Ruby Rules who isn’t that far behind her.
