2011 WH Stocks Stakes

King's Rose ran a carbon copy of her previous outing, racing midfield until the turn where she increased tempo and took the lead in the straight. Pinker Pinker challenged the mare in the run home as King's Rose again eased off within sight of the post, but she fought back to take victory by a head. Lady Lynette produced a solid effort and rounded out the top three.
