2011 Surround Stakes

Parables showed real guts in winning this Group 2 event, racing without cover for a good deal of the race but still able to finish strongly down the outside and hold on for a narrow victory over fast finishing Red Tracer. Roughie Rose of Peace surprised many punters to claim third.
