2011 Rose Of Kingston Stakes (Blazer Stakes)

Lady Lynette had a wide barrier draw to contend with, but she was pushed forward to be on the pace as the field settled and was in a prime position to strike when they came into the straight. The mare drew level with the leaders with 250 metres to run and eventually moved ahead of them in a relentless rather than explosive finish, winning by just over a length from Booklet with Dysphonia in third.
