Cox Plate winner Sir Dragonet won his second Group 1 race on Australian soil at Rosehill on Saturday, claiming a decisive victory in the $1.5 million Group 1 KIA Tancred Stakes (2400m).
Australia's only top-level weight-for-age contest over 2400 metres saw Sir Dragonet, formerly trained by Aidan O'Brien, easily dispatch his rivals where several market leaders failed to perform to expectations.
Ridden by Glen Boss, Sir Dragonet ($5.50 favourite) defeated 96-handicap-rated Dundeel mare She's Ideel ($13) by 2.25 lengths, with 2019 VRC Oaks winner Miami Bound ($51) a further long neck away in third.
Sir Dragonet has been unplaced from four starts since his debut Australian win in last October's Cox Plate, finishing sixth in the Melbourne Cup (3200m), seventh in the C.F. Orr Stakes (1400m), ninth in the $5m All-Star Mile (1600m) and fourth in the Ranvet Stakes (2000m).
