It had been 48 weeks since Timely Truce (5g. Brief Truce – Gal Express by Success Express) had stepped out at a race day. Last Friday at Cranbourne Timely Truce returned to Cranbourne in a $25,000 benchmark 70 rated race over 1,000 metres. It was the last race of the experimental rapid racing day with races spaced just twenty minutes apart and jockeys unable to compete in consecutive races.
Jye McNeil had been chosen by Ricky Maund to ride. Jye positioned Timely Truce into fourth position one out from the rail. The two leaders set a fast tempo but at the turn Timely Truce moved out to press for the lead. He won by just over two lengths.
Ricky Maund lauded the efforts of his team for Timely Truce’s impressive return to the racetrack.
