Warrior King Reigns Supreme In Group Two Bendigo Cup

Warrior King (7) has proven the old saying true by taking out the Two Cup on night; the cream always rises to the top.

Talented youngster Luca Neveelk (4) was sent to the boxes as favourite but he didn't begin as well as he needed to and finished fifth.

Pippa Shiraz (1) won the start but was soon headed by kennelmate Senor Socks (8) and eventually dropped out to last.

Fastest heat winner Zipping Snoopy (3) was last early and wound up seventh while long shot chance Flying Bolt (2) occupied sixth position.
