FOUR-year-old Super Good was crowned the 1100m Hachiman Sprint Challenge champion at Borrowdale on Sunday.
The son of Announce, Super Good, stepped up in style to beat seven other contestants who took to the starting stalls for the $8 000 race.
Having received five kgs from the 2016 winner, Road To Dubai, who finished 3.75 lengths back in heavy going, Super Good powered to victory.
Super Good is trained by Bridget Stidolph and Fannie Chambers was on the irons.
The gelding is owned by the Sunmark Racing Three (nominee Rob Davenport) and was bred by Mr D.G. M. Southey.
Road To Dubai, winner of the 1200m HRIB Gold Cup on December 18, had Keagan de Melo as the pilot when they went home $1 600 richer for their efforts.
The partners now understand each other better and have been doing well and a second place finish on the opening race of the year 2017 can give hope to the seasoned campaigners.
Four of Road To Dubai’s eight wins have been over Sunday’s distance.
Amy Bronkhorst’s three-year-old star, Wylde Style, also got the chance to show how good she is against the big boys as she finished on position three to pocket $1 000.
Sheik’s Brashee filled the other place 8.5 lens behind.
