00:00 He's first up since September. He's trialed really well. Obviously, it's a step up out of his age group here against some of these more seasoned horses, but he is a very talented horse and he has trialed well.
00:12 Mobile in full flight here. Iliv Pembroke will start the favourite in the 2020 Fort Laudern Shire Wedderburn Pacing Cup. It's over the 2690. Terrific field. Standby. Green light's on and away. Soho Moonraker as expected begins fast. Crosses a stable mate. You bet your time. Goodbye. Hugo Rocks came out and then quickly grabbed hold looking for a trail.
00:36 Radius three wide presses forward. Iliv Pembroke the favourite. It's out three wide on the back of Radius, but it'll certainly work up to the breeze. Though Radius is a tough stayer. He'll probably be content to take a trail on the back of Iliv Pembroke who's still three wide trying to make ground. Silent Major three back the pegs from Hanging Fire. Further back Modern Bliss went to the pegs to be four back from Vanquish Stride. Then came Platinum Stride and Arnie's Arm is back last of all.
01:03 They work into the home straight. They'll come down to the winning post and will have two circuits to go and Soho Moonraker shows the way from you bet your time. Goodbye. Silent Major is three back the pegs and Iliv Pembroke's going to have to do it the tough way in the breeze. On its back Radius enjoys a good trip. Modern Bliss four back the inside. Then Hanging Fire from Vanquish Stride, Platinum Stride and Arnie's Arm goes back to the pegs to be five back the inside.
01:30 They head to the back straight. They've got a lap and three quarters to go and Soho Moonraker who's first up leads the way five meters to you bet your time. Goodbye. He'll wait the way to burn Hotel Sprint Lane. It enjoys a good trip. Leaders back in third spot without cover. Iliv Pembroke and Platinum Stride takes off three wide tries to whip around the field very quickly and Ryan Sanderson puts one of the fancy runners Platinum Stride into the race.
01:58 He moves up to be third, gives Iliv Pembroke cover. Silent Major three back the pegs. Modern Bliss four back the inside from Radius. Then Arnie's Army from here goes Rock, Hanging Fire and Vanquish Stride's now back last about 30 meters off the lead. They work into the home straight.
02:15 120.9 lead time and the leader is Soho Moonraker. It's attempting to go all the way here in the Loddon Shire Wedderburn Pacing Cup and Mick Stanley's rating it to a nicety and Soho Moonraker's had a good run. 30.6 the first quarter. You bet your tiger pie enjoys a good trip. Leaders back. Platinum Stride third just hanging back about five or six meters off the lead of Soho Moonraker.
02:39 Then came Iliv Pembroke who's got cover. Silent Major, Modern Bliss, Arnie's Army, Radius, Hugo Rock, Hanging Fire and Vanquish Stride last of all. They've got 750 to go and Soho Moonraker. He's the one to catch. 30.9 at second quarter. 61.5 the half and Soho Moonraker. He still travels well. So does the stable mate. You bet your tiger pie on the leaders back.
03:05 Soho Moonraker with third Platinum Stride. Silent Major, Iliv Pembroke, then Modern Bliss. Three wide trying to improve was Radius. Hugo Rock's between them from Arnie's Army, Hanging Fire and Vanquish Stride. They go inside the 400. 27.8 the third quarter. Soho Moonraker leads the way. You bet your tiger pie still with a kick left. Platinum Stride called upon and now Iliv Pembroke starts to wind up.
03:29 It's Soho Moonraker straightens up. Four metres clear. Here comes Iliv Pembroke. It's running on very strongly. Iliv Pembroke gobbled him up on the outside. You bet your tiger pie he's coming late. But Iliv Pembroke too good. Takes out the Wedderburn pacing cup. Second home going over the line was you bet your tiger pie. Third maybe Platinum Stride. Then Soho Moonraker just got tied first up. Modern Bliss doing its best work late.
03:54 Then Radius, Hugo Rock, Silent Major, Vanquish Stride, Arnie's Army, Hanging Fire. Final quarter 27.8. 55.6 last half and it's a mile rate of 158.4. Iliv Pembroke great run. Race Fitness wins again.
04:16 Here's Julie Douglas and Jack Law. He appeared pretty confident Jack. He looked over his shoulder around the 500 metre mark just to see what was coming. But he seemed to be travelling strongly. He just felt he seemed to have the horse that could do the job and he certainly didn't let him down.
04:36 So Iliv Pembroke taking out the Loddon Shire Wedderburn pacing cup. Raced by E and H Anderson. Nominees Proprietary Limited, Julie Douglas. The train up, Jack Law the winning driver.
