- #2 Casino Seventeen
- #6 Rumbled Again
- #10 Ocean Beyond
Casino Seventeen ($7) produced a commanding performance to head the 2025 Eclipse Stakes results at Caulfield on Zipping Classic Day. Trained by Gavin Bedggood and ridden by Billy Egan, who read the pace to perfection, the veteran eight-year-old gelding relished the drop back to 1800 metres in the Group 3 feature. Getting a lovely run on the home straight, he hit the lead 200m out from the line and stuck on well holding off the late challenge by Rumbled Again to salute by 0.15 lengths.
