Sydney filly, Twilight Royale, came to town with one mission in mind, the Inglis Classic at Mornington, the second leg of an ultimate payout of $2.4 million, the Guineas at Scone in May next year.

She had won so impressively at Mornington, the Sires Produce Stakes, down the six straight at Flemington, looked attractive, as she handled the reverse way of going so well at Mornington.

While the filly is paying her way connections are happy, she earned $487,000 in prize money, plus bonuses, after being purchased at the Melbourne Premier Sales for $ 45,000

Part owner, Craig Tognolini, was as happy as a sand boy after the win, explaining he owns 20 per cent of the filly and was prepared to sell 10 per cent up until Friday night, when the deal fell through, a case of no money no horse.

The market illustrated how open the Sires Produce Stakes was when Weinholt, a last start winner at Ballarat, started at $3.70, looked like winning at one stage until collared with 200 metres to run.

There is nothing much left for the filly now in Melbourne, she will return home to the stable of Bjorn Baker, at Warwick Farm, when a decision whether she races on or is spelled.
