Bel Sprinter Wins W.J.Adams Stakes

Monday, 6th February 2012

Eliza Park Stud's multiple Gr1-winning sire Bel Esprit (Royal Academy-Bespoken, by Vain) added a black-type success when favoured & top-weighted 4YO gelding Bel Sprinter (Bel Esprit-Gavroche, by Snippets) returned from a 22-weeks spell to come from last-in-running & score a 1-length victory in the $100,000 Listed W.J.Adams Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield. Bel Sprinter (ridden by Ben Melham for trainer Jason Warren) defeated 4YO mare Kulgrinda (Exceed And Excel-River Crossing, by Bellotto) & 5YO gelding Faster Son (Fastnet Rock-Sonata, by Palace Music). Bel Sprinter took his record to 5 wins (also including 2011's Listed 60th Anniversary Of National Service Stakes over 1200m at Caulfield) & a runner-up (in 2011's Gr3 Bobbie Lewis Quality over 1200m at Flemington) from 6 starts for $300,575 earnings.
