A liking for the Flemington straight is a strong bow for any horse to have and It'Sourtime's continued favour for the 'straight six' as the six-year-old showed in winning the Group 3 Aurie's Star Handicap (1200m).
For trainer Danny O'Brien, the effort held added merit with the gelding being in a less than ideal position in the run, and in a less than preferred part of the track.
"He was in a bit of a difficult spot being last at the 250-metre mark and then had to hook out wide on the track which is probably not the 'A1' spot to be but he really let down with a solid turn-of-foot," O'Brien said.
