He was the best at the finish. Marauding won the Lightning Cup, a group 2 race ran over 990m on Saturday. The Ramapatee Gujadhur-trained horse was just an outsider, and he was right there beating the big favourite, Cartel Boss in the last stride.
Cartel Boss tried hard but he was beaten by his bad draw at the start. He had to race wide at the beginning. His jockey did not go into a fight with Colour My Fate and Henry Tudor who were going too fast in front. These two horses finished in the last two places a proof that their respective jockeys asked too much from them in the first part of the race and they faded out in the final straight.
Cartel Boss showed good quality as he came from behind this time. But he did not finish strong enough to win. The best finisher was Marauding who ran on strongly in the last 100m and was right on time to beat Cartel Boss by 0.25 L.
The two other horses of trainer Ramapatee Gujadhur, Valyrian King and Ziva La Winter finished third and fourth.
