Racing
Bred and raced by Rodger and Nerida Atkinson from Yoeval, the seven year old gelding Dapperized took out the $32,000 QUBE Logistics Cotton Cup ( 1600 metres ) before a very good crowd at Warren on Sunday.
Produced from the former brilliant sprinter Beautiful Dapper, Dapperized is trained at Mudgee by Gayna Williams and had top jockey Greg Ryan in the saddle. Tracking Hammoon Bridge ( Mathew Cahill,$4.60 equal favourite ) from the outset, Dapperized ( $7 ) eventually wore down the leader to win by a short neck with Steamin ( Kath Bell-Pitomac, $10 ) finishing third.
Earlier, the Brett Thompson, Gulgong trained Fairy Fragments ( $4.40 ) owned by Rodger and Nerida Atkinson and ridden by Greg Ryan had come from well back to win the 1400 metres Complete Asset Management Benchmark 58 Handicap.
First leg of a treble for Greg Ryan was Dusky Damsel ( $4.60 fav.) trained by Clint Lundholm who also won with Beechal ( $2.60 fav.) ridden by Mathew Cahill.
Molasses, trained at Forbes by Dennis Bush for Danny Kotel from Grenfell, completed a feature race double when winning the ( 1200 metres ) Sky Racing Warren Jockey Club Sprint.At the previous start Molasses had won 1100 metres Cup Day Sprint at Coonabarabran.
Again well ridden by Eleanor Webster-Hawes, Molasses ( $4.80 ) held off Know How ( Brandon Griffiths, $51 ) and Zoutenant ( Ken Dunbar,$5.50 ) and in the process took career prize money earnings past the $100,00 mark.
At the corresponding Warren meeting in 2017 jockey Daniel Northey won on A Martin Place Pick, his last winner before suffering a broken pelvis in a barrier stalls accident and being on the sidelines for almost twelve months.
Therefore, it was a popular win when the well liked Daniel Northey came with a late run on the Rodney Northam, Scone trained Lope De Mango ( $21 ) to snatch a three way photo finish win over Fourth Protocol ( Jake Pracey-Holmes, $41 ) and Late Return ( Mathew Cahill,$5 ) in the ( 1000 metres ) Landmark Operations Benchmark 58 Handicap.
Final event at Warren, the Kurri Kurri Boys Class 2 Handicap ( 1600 metres ) saw a surprise result when the Connie Greig, Dubbo trained Moralto ( Andrew Banks $41 ) from the back of the field arrived in time to beat El Rey Dorado ( Greg Ryan,$5.50 ) and Unresolved ( Tony Cavallo, $6.50 ).
