He drew wide and settled back in the field, charging to the line for William
Pike to win the 2400 metre staying test by a short head."I thought he would get there. But then I started to calculate how many extra lengths he had covered on top of what all the others had done, but I did ask him to stay in the clear so he did that," said Bob Peters.
"He was good today. He has been very unlucky in a lot of his early races, we were riding him for luck and the luck didn't come. He got caught up and caught up but if you look at his record, I think it's five or six stakes race he has run a place in, and now he has won a couple."
It was his third Black Type win and took his overall record to four wins and five placings from 13 starts with prizemoney over $473,000.
Regal Power is the third winner from stakes-winning Redoute's Choice mare Broadway Belle and is a full brother to Group II WATC Derby winner Action.
He is also a brother-in-blood to the Peters homebreds Arcadia Queen, winner of the Group I WATC Kingston Town Classic and Arcadia Prince, winner of the Group III WATC Scahill Stakes.
Broadway Belle has been a regular visitor to Coolmore and has a yearling colt by Vancouver that was passed in at Inglis Easter, a weanling filly by American Pharoah (USA) and is now back in foal to Pierro, who covered 228 mares last spring at a fee of $88,000.
