Brimstone, Select Moment salute in Ipswich features
Ipswich racing served up a 12-race card on Saturday night, highlighted by the Listed Young Guns Final and the Ipswich Grand Prix for the stayers.
After taking out his heat in a blistering 30.23 seconds, Greg Stella-trained Magistrate lined up in the $50,000 Listed Young Guns as a $2.20 favourite with online bookmakers.
In his way for the 520m final was the Selena Zammit trio of Inevitable ($12), Another Chance ($15) and Brimstone ($7).
With box rise it was an even challenge for the lead with the Jedda Cutlack-trained Ally Gal and Mark Saal-trained Van Helsing heading to the front to give them something to chase.
On the turn, Magistrate took the lead by close to three lengths with Blue Hornet and Brimstone in second and third.
On the final turn and into the straight, Brimstone moved up to eye the leader before running on to win it by two lengths.
Brimstone saluted in a best-of-night time of 30.47, in front of Blue Hornet and Magistrate.
