Golden Ballet, owned by businessman Jun Almeda, lost by a length to Material Maker in the Klub Don Juan de Manila Golden Girls race also in San Lazaro last month.

Yesterday, however, was an entirely different story.

Charmer, Hazmoore rule Gran Copa [Summary] => Absolute Charmer succeeded where Golden Ballet failed, winning the race she was heavily fancied to win — the Genuino Cup of the 24th Gran Copa de Manila Stakes race yesterday at the San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite.

Hazmoore earlier surprised everybody, including racing experts, as the six-year-old horse showed she’s got more to give over the punishing the 1,900-meter race, thwarting Golden Ballet’s rally and completing a stunning wire-to-wire victory in the Philracom Cup.

"Pare-pareho namang magagaling ang mga kabayong iyan, pero siempre malaking bagay din ang diskarte ng hinete,"
said First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, referring to Hernandez’s A-1 riding style that has been the trademark of the talented jockey’s career.

The long layoff, the heavy handicap weight, the punishing 2,000-meter distance and the pressure put up by Catwalk Pia in the early going proved no burden for the massive charger who simply galloped home to victory unopposed.

Wind Blown turned in a 2:09 clocking with fraction times of 25-25-26’-25-27’.

The four-year-old bay Free Wind took the best dished out by last year’s top multiple stakes winner Golden Ballet and proved he’s better although he had to foil Hyperbid’s bid in the last 50 meters to keep his winning run at the hippodrome.

Gold Cup [Summary] => Free Wind, a three-year-old stallion slowly making a name for himself, bolted out of nowhere yesterday to deny Wind Blown a historic third straight victory in the Presidential Gold Cup at the San Lazaro Hippodrome.

A huge crowd enjoying the scent of Christmas came to watch the 2,000-meter race, hoping to catch Wind Blown, the superhorse owned by Hermie Esguerra, make a run at history and the huge P1.5 million top purse.
