Residential wins 2017 Living Corp. Dunedin Gneas Listed NZ$50,000 at Wingatui (NZ) 3yo, 1500m.
John and Karen Parsons produced the quinella and fillies filled the first three placings in a good quality field. Racing in the colours of Waikato Stud, Residential, from barrier one, soon raced up to sit in behind the pacemaker. She drifted to midfield approaching the straight entrance but apprentice jockey Gosen Jogoo saved ground then found room, three out, taking the lead at the 200m.
They looked in for a comfortable win but had to dig deep to hold out a late challenge from Starvoia, who had to make her run from back in the field out in the centre of the track, finishing strongly but a shade too late to lose by a nose.
Showemup, who was well back and widest turning in, ran on well to nab third while favourite Raise You Ten led to the top of the straight but could only battle on for fourth.
