Australia – Gathering Wins Railway Stakes
20 Nov
The Patinack Farm-owned Gathering ran his rivals ragged to score an emphatic victory in the Group One $1 million Railway Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
Perfectly ridden by Craig Williams, the Tale Of The Cat four-year-old sped out of gate six and led all the way in the 1600m feature, comfortably downing Famous Roman and Megatic.
The win broke a frustrating run of Group One second placings for Patinack’s trainer John Thompson whose only previous win at the elite level was with Small Minds in the 2010 Australasian Oaks at Morphettville.
