A last start winner at Bathurst where she led all the way, Worldly Pleasure
adopted similar tactics under Eleanor Webster-Hawes in this 1100 metre dash and
refused to lie down, claiming a neck win over the city slickers with race
favourite Brazilica a fading fourth.Eleanor Webster-Hawes has a great partnership with Worldly Pleasure and had been aboard her in four of her previous five wins.
"She's been a great little mare and very brave," she said, adding it was her first metropolitan win as a jockey.
Worldly Pleasure was bought for just $5,500 at the Inglis Broodmare and Weanling Sale in 2018 as part of a Gooree Stud reduction as an unraced three year-old.
She has proven the gift that keeps on giving having 13 starts since then for six wins and over $80,000 in prizemoney.
"To come all the way from Bathurst this morning and win is just the biggest thrill," said co-owner Paul Deal.
A half-sister to Group III placed Agueda, she is one of eight winners from good producer Smoothie, a half-sister to Gooree Stud's Group III winner Who Did It.
