MOST WINS FOR THE YEAR – HORSE The horse who won more races than any other was straight-track specialist Right To Party . The grey had only won one of her nine career starts, a two-year-old maiden at Doomben, before recording her first win at Flemington. The Anthony and Sam Freedman -trained mare had seven starts in total for the year, the last six of them at Flemington, where she won four times. The daughter of Zoustar graduated from an 1100m 3YO handicap win in June to claim the Listed Creswick Stakes Final (1200m) in July, the Group 3 Aurie’s Star Handicap (1200m) in August before a Group 2 win in October’s Gilgai Stakes (1200m). She failed by just a just a short-head in her quest for a maiden Group 1 win when second to Sunshine In Paris in the Darley Champions Sprint on TAB Champions Stakes Day. The two multiple Group 1 winners at Flemington for the year were also in action on Champions Day with Via Sistina completing the Turnbull Stakes/ Champions Stakes double and Mr Brightside winning the VRC Champions Mile having won the Crown Makybe Diva Stakes earlier in the year.
