Purton lands Caulfield Cup with ADMIRE RAKTI

18/10/2014

Hong Kong reigning Champion jockey Zac Purton added one more Group One victory to his resume after partnering Japanese stayer Admire Rakti to win the 2014 Caulfield Cup at Caulfield racecourse this afternoon. 

The seven-year-old entire edged Rising Romance over the concluding stages of the 2400m event, with the favourite Lucia Valentina finishing third.

"I was able to get a lovely run in the race, three wide with a bit of cover - Japanese horses love that. I knew he was better than them and it worked out that way," Purton said after the race.

Admire Rakti will now be heading for the Melbourne Cup on 4 November.
