2022 Eskimo Prince Stakes Race Recap

The Eskimo Prince Stakes 2022 that took place at Randwick on Saturday 5th February saw three runners heavily backed before the race to clear favourites for the Group 3 contest. At the jump we saw Paulele jump well and to the lead follow by Converge with Ranch Hand settling one back in fourth.

Giannis, another runner for the Waller stable missed the jumped by some way, falling four lengths behind the field after 50m. Paulele on the other hand jumped well and went straight to the lead in the wet conditions at Randwick.

At the 800m mark Paulele continued to lead the race and with nothing else challenging the three year old colt was able to control the tempo in front. In second Mana Nui tacked along behind the favourite with Converge and Ranch Hand keeping a close eye in 3rd and 4th.

As the field entered the home turn, Melbourne Cup winning jockey Kerrin McEvoy steadied the pace aboard Paulele and pulled well wide of the fence to begin his run home down the middle of the track.

With other runners coming off the bridle behind him, McEvoy sat quietly before getting to work coming into the final 250m. At this point only the second and third favourites in betting, Ranch Hand and Converge began to give chase but it appeared to be too little to late.

In the final 100m of The Eskimo Prince Stakes it appeared the Converge presented the greatest danger but peaked in the run as Paulele found more and was able to hold on and win the Group 3 1200m race and hold off the late comers with little else presenting a challenge.
