Isivunguvungu (no. 6) is a disappointing sixth out of seven runners in the Wolf Hill Stakes. (via youtube).
The strongly built Isivunguvungu dwarfed his rivals in the Wolf Hill Stakes over five-and-a-half furlongs on Saturday at Monmouth Park on the turf and started 9/5 second favourite.
However, his chances of taking up his favourite front-running or front-line role were scuppered when he did not break well.
He was then four wide as he tried to make up the ground and although just off the pace turning for home his early exertions had taken their toll and he could not find his usual extra in the straight and finished sixth out of the seven runners.

This was not the Narrow Creek Stud-bred What A Winter gelding’s run and a line can likely be drawn through it.
The Graham Motion-trained bay is capable of bouncing back and carrying Hollywood Racing’s yellow with purple stars colours to more wins in the USA.
