Masked Crusader – Randwick
- Race 7
- Distance: 1200m
- Class: WFA The Everest
Few people missed the run of Masked Crusader in The Everest after his habit of stepping away slowly forced him to weave his way through the field and only miss by a stride. His final 200m sectional was a blistering 11.68s which was half a second quicker than the next fastest final furlong which was Classique Legend, who was also rattling home.
Those who follow this service would recall me black booking him after his return trial back in August and declaring him ready to step up as an A-grade sprinter. We then backed him 1st up winning The Heath and then again in the Premier so he has been good to us this prep.
When To Bet
Not sure whether the Hawkes team sends him to the paddock now. It would be great to see him close out a career best prep with a win in the Classique Legend Stakes over 1300m on his home track. 1300m looks like his best distance and it would be ironic to see him win the race that honours last year’s Everest winner.
