In doing so in a five-straight endeavour for five-year-old and upwards claimers ($180,000 - $150,000), Prince Sammo running for the 75th time earned his eighth victory, this time for trainer Ryan Darby and jockey Daniel Satchell.

It was then that Prince Sammo took over as Golden Emperor (Roger Hewitt) racing on the outside rails throughout came with a late flourish but it was a little too late. Third went to Smokescreen.
