The shortest price runner of the day and by some margin was Kazou, many expecting the progressive mare to take out the Rosemont Stud Fillies & Mares Pendant at $1.60.
Alas, she was no match for Revolutionary Miss, who appreciated a sharp drop in grade having contested Group races in 15 of her 19 career starts, including her past 10.
Despite being beaten just 1.3 lengths by Skew Wiff last start at Group 2 level, Revolutionary Miss was sent out a $6 equal second favourite with bookmakers, her class showing through when coming off Kazou’s back to go on and win by 1-¾ lengths.
Jordan Childs, who was having his first ride on the multiple Group 1 placed mare, said everything went to plan.
“She came back and rested nicely for me. I knew when I presented her she was going to have a bit of a kick. The favourite didn’t quicken up as much as I thought it would, so it left it a bit vulnerable late. My horse had been racing well and deserved a win like that,” Childs said.
