SUPERSTAR grey Racing To Win has the ability to remain the dominate weight-for-age force in Sydney for the next two years, according to trainer John O’Shea.
O’Shea was talking after his stable star blitzed his rivals in the $400,000 All-Aged Stakes (1400m).
"He is going as good as ever," he said.
"If we look after him, he could be competitive and win these sort of races for the next two years.
"There is nothing wrong with his form, he ran home in under 34 seconds when he was second to Mentality in the Canterbury Stakes and ran a super race but was beaten by a very good horse (Weekend Hussler) last time."
And the Randwick mentor is looking forward to another clash with boom galloper Weekend Hussler, who defeated Racing To Win in the George Ryder Stakes.
"He (Weekend Hussler) is a freak, we wouldn’t have beaten him even if we didn’t have any hiccups this preparation," O’Shea said.
"But I would like to take him on again at level weights."
Racing To Win ($1.75 fav) was caught wide in transit before being bustled forward by jockey Hugh Bowman rounding the turn and gobbled up his rivals in the straight to score by a length over Murtajill ($7), with Casino Prince ($5.50) a half-neck away third.
Trainer Anthony Cummings was undecided whether Casino Prince would be retired after finishing third and said he would talk to owner Nathan Tinkler before making a decision about the stallion’s future.
SAMANTHA Miss foiled $25 million colt Sebring’s Triple Crown bid with an upset win in the Group I $450,000 Champagne Stakes.
Sebring made a brave attempt to lead all the way.
He looked set to become only the sixth horse to complete the Golden Slipper-AJC Sires-Champagne Stakes treble when he dashed clear at the top of the straight. But a determined Samantha Miss chased down the hot favourite to score a thrilling win.

KINGSTON, R.I. - Senior Zach Zaneski (Waterford, Conn.) recorded two hits, two runs and two RBI as the Rhode Island baseball team took down Connecticut, 9-4, Wednesday afternoon at Bill Beck Field. The win extends the Rams unbeaten streak to 11 games, dating back to an April 9th loss at UConn. Since then, Rhody has outscored its opponents by an 83-49 margin.
The Rams jumped out to an early lead on a four-hit, four-run first inning off of Connecticut starter Elliott Glynn. Sophomores Zoey Angulo (Miami, Fla.) and Oliver Palmer (North Kingstown, R.I.) led off with back-to-back singles up the middle before Zaneski’s RBI single scored Angulo to give the Rams a 1-0 lead. A double steal then moved Palmer and Zaneski to third and second, respectively, before a bad throw by UConn catcher Brad Olt allowed Palmer to cross the plate and Zaneski to take third safely. Senior Mike O’Malley (Nashua, N.H.) scored the Rams’ fourth and final run of the inning on a sacrifice fly by classmate Shaun Hagey (Ephrata, Pa.) after reaching on a double to left center and taking third on sophomore Rob Deveney’s (Marlton, N.J.) sac bunt.
UConn got a run back in the top of the third but Hagey put the Rams back up by four in the bottom of the inning, scoring on a single up the middle by junior Dan Rhault (Lincoln, R.I.), who has now hit safely in the last 13 games.
Trailing 5-1 after four complete innings, the Huskies cut URI’s lead to one with a three-run fifth that saw an RBI single by Mike Nemeth and a two-run double by Peter Fatse.
Solid pitching from the Rhody bullpen limited UConn to just three hits the rest of the way and kept Huskies off the scoreboard through the final four innings.

New shows fail at an alarming rate. It’s best not to grow too fond of them, lest their sudden departure break your heart.
The grim fates of the new series “Eli Stone” (10 p.m., ABC, TV-14) and “Lipstick Jungle” (10 p.m., NBC, TV-14) remind me just a little of my sad experiments in duck cultivation. Let me explain.
My wife and I live on a pond, and some years ago a homely Muscovy duck came to depend on us for corn and a rather casual form of ownership. We named him Eugene. Noticing he was lonely, we procured him some female Muscovy companionship, and soon eggs and chicks entered our lives, or at least our pond.
If there’s anything cuter than a baby duck, it’s a flotilla of infant fowl following their mother in a V-shaped gaggle of churning feet and raucous squeaks. We couldn’t help giving them names as well as an inordinate amount of our attention.
We didn’t know that the local skunks, snapping turtles and flying raptors were also keenly aware of them. Much to our horror, we discovered that the attrition rate for newborn waterfowl is both severe and relentless. A brood of 12 can dwindle rapidly to four, to two to none in a matter of days.
After a few seasons of slaughter, we stopped naming the baby ducks.
There’s nothing downy soft, vulnerable or innocent about a David E. Kelley knockoff like “Eli Stone,” or “Lipstick Jungle,” a limp “Sex and the City” clone. But I can’t help feeling some pity and dread as I see them slip helplessly beneath the surface of viable viewership. According to those who measure such things, fewer people watch these shows every week, and worse still, they lose viewers during the course of every hour they run.
So don’t grow too used to them. Some day you will look out onto your pond, or rather, your screen, and they will be gone.
Just because I cover television for a living doesn’t mean I understand “Lost” (see Other Highlights) any more than the rest of you. In fact, my need to cover the prime-time waterfront prevents me from obsessing about “Lost” as much as I’d like, or half as much as the legion of “Lost” blogsters.
I’m sufficiently entranced by the series to enjoy its endless mysteries even after all these years. The miracle of “Lost” is that the more you know, the more you need to find out and the more you don’t quite understand.
Part of the success of “Lost” is our ability to be shocked by seeing familiar characters in entirely new lights and in jarring contexts. Who expected Hurley could be as devious as he was last week? And I’ve come to know Sayid as a torturer, as a repentant and even as a lover. But who knew he could golf?
Earl adjusts to prison on “My Name is Earl” (8 p.m., NBC, r, TV-14).
Four contestants get the hook on the “American Idol” (8 p.m., Fox) results show.
On two episodes of “Lost” (ABC, TV-14), Sayid and Kate look for Locke (8 p.m., r), Kate appears to put her needs first (9 p.m.).
A murder victim may be a long-sought-after kidnapped boy on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14, V).
Contestants must produce their own home-shopping videos on “Celebrity Apprentice” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14).
Paul recaps Jake and Amy’s sad saga on “In Treatment” (9:30 p.m., HBO).
Jack joins forces with Grissom to catch a serial killer on “Without a Trace” (10 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14, V).
