Twist Of Fate won the main race of the 17th meeting easily on Saturday at the Champ-de-mars racecourse. Mauritian jockey Roby Bheekary was very calm and confident as he raced Twist Of Fate from the back of the field.
Absolutist had a soft lead and seemed to be hard to beat as he was never challenged in front. But Twist Of Fate showed that he was the classy horse of the field. He was just too good there as he drew clear in the final straight to win easily with the top-weight of 61.5 kg on his back.
Twist Of Fate will now be a strong contender in the Golden Trophy (2200m – G2) before aiming for a prestigious win in the Maiden Cup (2400 – G1) on October 2.
