Alabama Lass were driven by Craig Williams and showed their usual early speed to lead through the Flemington and when they were challenged to hold the challenge of the gallant son and Affluent Dottie.
“Full of loan to her coach Bev, who cannot come today, and Ken Kelso, they do such a great job with these horses,” said Williams.
“She really showed how good she is there (Recent Zealand) and beats one of her best older horses (Crocetti) on the King's plate (Gr.3, 1200 m), and she is only a three -year -old foal, and I was really lucky and pleased to get the call and ride her.”
Williams said the roar of the crowd had stimulated the well -supported favorites in the final stadiums.
“It might also have inspired you because she had assumed not to spend any energy, I thought:” This is perfect, she will just pick it up. “

“I thought she was breathtaking. She is just a quick foal. She only gets there and goes on, she is something special,” said Kelso.
“She tries very very and relaxes in her race early. She is very brisk, but she only drops the piece and only shines with it so that she doesn't exercise much energy.”
Alabama Express's daughter will now return to Recent Zealand to return to Melbourne for sprint goals in spring.
“We will bring her home and she deserves a little spell, it has been up for a while,” said Kelso. “There could be some nice sprint races here (Victoria) in spring, but we will make a breath and just bring it home.”
Kelso wanted to recognize Ms. Bev, who could not make the trip through the Tasman, but is an imperative part of the training partnership.
“It is a shame that Bev cannot make it now, she would have liked to have been here as if she had been Australian Guinen. It is only a shame that she can't travel now, but I am sure that she hidden this couch a bit,” said Kelso.
