ROYAL MERCHANT WINS THE GOODWOOD! 👑 /Inwe3SbFbK ![]() It's been an unorthodox campaign for Royal Merchant who has just got better and better with racing. Jumping at $18, jockey Michael Dee was trapped three-wide without cover just off the speed but carrying just 52.5kg, Royal Merchant just kept going, holding off Another Award, who put in another enormous run. Like Affaire A Suivre (Australasian Oaks) and Ruthless Dame (Robert Sangster Stakes), it was again a three-year-old filly who delivered on the biggest stage, as Royal Merchant defied a wide run to stamp her stunning ascension. The surprise result caps off an incredible four weeks for the stable, winning three of the four Group 1s on offer in South Australia, meaning they were only three-quarters of a length off a clean sweep after Promises Kept finished second in the SA Derby last week. Ciaron Maher and David Eustace's dominance of the Adelaide carnival is complete after Royal Merchant's gutsy victory in the Group 1 Goodwood at Morphettville on Saturday.
