“Iron Works wins The Miata for Paul Stuart”

The Distance Gift (now known as The Miata) is a staying series contested over 715m that is named in honour of WA’s best ever stayer, the great bitch Miata. The race was first won by the David Hobby prepared Ricky’s A Robber back in 2011. Miata took out the race in 2012 and 2013 and big name winners since include Takahashi (2015), Neil Monelli (2018), Zack Monelli (2021) and Boracay Summer (2025). An excellent field was assembled for tonight’s Group Three Feature with Reinvigorated jumping a $2.30 fixed odds favourite from box one. She began well and set the pace with Take My Advice and Tilly Rose also showing early speed. Texas President settled fifth whilst other main fancy Iron Works was in sixth position. Reinvigorated straightened with a narrow lead but couldn’t survive the late challenge of Iron Works who zoomed home to score. Iron Works chalked up his twelfth victory over 715m from 22 starts, defeating Texas President who claimed second over Reinvigorated in the final stride.
