A downgrade in the Matamata track due to persistent rain on the day played right into the hands of local runner Dark Destroyer (NZ) (Proisir) as the promising galloper delivered a gritty victory in the day’s feature event, the Gr.3 Mitchell Family Bonecrusher Stakes (1400m).

Lock keeps the faith with temperamental mare
Trainer Peter Lock admits he has plenty of battles with progressive mare Faithful Feat (NZ) (Per Incanto) and is hoping he has won the war after she made it back-to-back wins with a comprehensive victory at Matamata on Saturday.

Lock was keen to see his charge continue to make…

Fears for the meeting quickly became apparent as the jockeys returned to scale, with video replays showing the Mike Breslin-rained…
