William Pike produced a gem of a ride to steer Elite Belle to victory in the Railway Stakes. Pike had the choice of the three Railway Stakes runners, Elite Belle & Respondent trained by Grant Williams & the Adam Durrant trained Ranger. Balmont Girl made it a hometown quinella. Eastern State visitors Moriarty & Smokin’ Joey finished 3rd & 4th. Pike, the wizard of the west, said he was keen to have another crack in the Eastern States. Elite Belle has now won 9 races from 23 starts, total prize money $1,207,300.
