Well Written joined Legarto (2022) and Seachange (2005) as only the third unbeaten winner of the 1000 Guineas in the last 20 years on Saturday.
She was given a perfect run by regular rider Matt Cartwright and settled in fourth on the outside of Cream Tart as Cool Aza Rene and Origin Of Love set a moderate pace out in front.
The Te Akau Racing pair still led the field rounding the turn into the home straight, but Well Written cruised up alongside them without Cartwright having to make a move.
When Cartwright finally pushed the button, the race was immediately over as a contest as Well Written exploded away.
"It was pretty special," Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh said.
"It’s the first 1000 Guineas we’ve won, and she’s just a special filly. She’s got that bit of freakishness about her. It’s exciting to have horses like that in your stable and makes the job so much easier." — LOVERACING.NZ News Desk
