Crowd favourite Scenic Shot showed he was still a force to be reckoned with as an eight-year-old when he scored a thrilling win in today's $500,000 Group One Doomben Cup (2020m), repoorts www.breednet.com.au.
It says: Trained in Perth by top horseman Dan Morton, Scenic Shot came with a strong run in the home straight, on the inside of rivals, to hit the front and hold out imports My Kingdom of Fife and Glass Harmonium for another big race success.
A regular visitor to the Brisbane Winter Carnival, Scenic Shot won the Doomben Cup two years ago on his way to wins in the O'Shea Stakes and Brisbane Cup Connections will be hoping he can emulate those victories as he hunts more big race success in the Sunshine State.
"He's fantastic," Morton said."He's an eight-year-old this horse and everything with him is a bonus from now on...I was a bit worried with him back on the fence. He doesn't normally like it like that - but they opened up and I couldn't believe the run he got through...He's an absolute tiger in a finish. I knew he would (fight)...My only worry was they he couldn't see the one (My Kingdom of Fife) on the outside. I knew he wouldn't lay down...We'll head toward the new couple of races now and we'll see where he takes us...The O'Shea and if he's fit and well we'll roll the dice in the Brisbane Cup.'
