Punters found it difficult to decide between Fab Fevola and Purettan in the sixth race on the card at the Gold Coast yesterday \u2013 an open handicap over 1100 metres.<\/p>\n
As expected Fab Fevola exploded from the machine and set up an early lead. Settling in the group behind them was Purettan, and mid field on the fence was Street Stall, the long shot in the ten horse field.<\/p>\n
Fab Fevola set a blistering pace, but after rounding the turn tired, and they came for him. Purettan started the charge and looked the likely winner however Kevin Forrester on Street Stall had other ideas, and challenged along the inside. The two horses levelled and drew away from the rest of the field. On the line it was a head <\/p>\n
bobber and it took the judges some time to split them, but finally the decision went to Street Stall.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a big thrill for me\u201d commented trainer Neville Saunders after the win. \u201cIt was a pretty good ride by Kevin Forrester. I\u2019ve known him for a long time and I\u2019m so happy he won on our horse\u201d.<\/p>\n
It was Street Stall\u2019s seventh career win. The four year old is a half brother to Light Fingers winner Street Smart. Street Smart, now a broodmare, is the dam of a great looking Street Cry weanling colt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
