Make Way sneaks into the Chariots Of Fire but Ants says he’ll need a perfect draw

Game four-year-old Make Way will represent Lincoln Farms in next Saturday’s A$200,000 Chariots Of Fire (mobile 1609m) at Menangle after scraping into the field as the final qualifier.

Make Way failed to capitalise on a perfect one-one sit in the Paleface Adios Mile tonight, feeling the pressure before the home turn and only battling into ninth behind hot favourite Hurricane Harley who clocked 1:50.6.

But Make Way still made the cut for the big four-year-old feature courtesy of his fifth last week in the Hondo Grattan because he ran faster time than tonight’s fifth-placed horse Catch A Moment.

The star-studded line-up is headlined by Melton Four-Year-Old Bonanza principals Lochinvar Art and Self Assured.

Just contesting the race will be a thrill for Make Way’s many partners who include Lincoln Farms’ owners John and Lynne Street, their business manager Ian Middleton, Amy Myocevich, Auckland veteran Bob Best, the north’s Chisholm brothers, Duncan, John and Dave and their friend Warwick Orr and the 10-member Excell syndicate, a group of women who all originated from the Hunua.
