The 2011 Crystal Mile or ‘Inglis Mile’ is over for another year with Testa My Patience way too good for a field that looked vey even pre race.
Testa My Patience lobbed in the perfect spot one off the fence in fourth before letting loose off the turn to stride to an easy victory.
There was only one other horse that put up any fight in the race and it came from an unexpected spot with Darwin Cup winner Hawks Bay hanging on for a long time in front.
He led them the entire race and it was only the final 150m where he tired and let Testa My Patience through to win.
He did hold on for second though which was a huge effort for a horse rated as a $101 chance pre race.
Kiwi runner He’s remarkable worked through for third after being forced wide on the bend.
Testa My Patience will be off to the Emirates Stakes from here where he’ll be a big chance in a much deserved Group 1 start.
