Lord of the Sky was elevated to a new level in winning the Sir John Monash Stakes at weight for age.

To the delight of those that supported him they could have thought Christmas had arrived when the colt drifted from $2.30 overnight to start at $2.70 in a field of nine runners, and he was the only last start winner in the field.

These early weight for age speed tests are got up for those with winning form and can get up and run, and that is the type of horse Lord Of The Sky is, brilliant over a short course.

Robbie Laing did his homework well, he knew this was the horse, and there are not many horses about that could threaten him at this time of the year.

Lord Of The Sky - A brilliant winner

When the starter gave the signal it was if Lord Of The Sky had been catapulted out of the gate, he had never had it so easy; he was simply coasting at the head of affairs.

Whats next on the agenda? The Bletchingly Stakes in two weeks over 1200 metres should not be any problem, and possibly the Memsie Stakes at 1400 metres, both at Caulfield, that could be enough for the present.

Lord Of The Sky is by Danerich, among the most consistent sires in the state, yet seldom receives the credits he is entitled to, this season he has had 123 starters for 62 winners, a winning percentage of 50.4.
