It was drinks all round for the owners of Champagne Everyone after the six-year-old mare, trained and driven by Dylan Egerton-Green, had relished her frontrunning role to score an effortless victory in the $25,000 TABtouch Summer Series 0W/15K final at Gloucester Park on Friday night.
Champagne Everyone, the $1.80 favourite, led from barrier two and romped home to beat $9.50 chance Hunt The Magic, who finished strongly from well back. The winning margin was five lengths.
Champagne Everyone, racing second-up after a spell, dawdled early before sprinting over the final quarters in 28.9sec. and 28.3sec.
“I lost her on the corner at her previous start (when second to Princess Katie),” said Egerton-Green. “She has always shown a bit but has lacked a bit on the strength side of things. Now she has put it all together and is a nice mare. She didn’t have to do too much, and I was able to get it cheaply before running away from them.
“When she switches on, she goes good, and, hopefully, she will go through the grades.”
