After being scratched from first up starts at Swan Hill and Sandown because of slow tracks, Beau Esprit went to the barrier at Echuca on a dead track over 1012m in the Classic Rock Handicap.
Ridden by Nick Souquet, this Peter Maher trained gelding raced forward three wide all the way and showed great fighting spirit to overtake the favourite La Bella Roo, who headed him in the straight, on the line and win by a head giving Bel Esprit the quinella.
This is Beau Esprit's sixth win ($103,814) equalling Snip Esprit for the most wins by the progeny, five of these wins for trainer Peter Maher. Congratulations to the owners M J Duffy, M P O'Brien, E O'Brien, D C Cox, K E Farrell, J A Henderson, E L Cooney, D Karpin, P B Comley & Wren Hotels Pty Ltd Synd (Mgnr: J Shelton) who expect the horse to win by up to a "mile" this time in.
Michael Duffy's wife, Carol bred Perfect Sky won has won five races (S$229,117) and tonight has the chance to join Beau Esprit on six when he runs at Kranji in Singapore.
