Story summary
Jockey Dylan Gibbons rewarded trainer John Sargent's loyalty by winning the Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday, breaking their combined group 1 drought. This was Sargent’s 12th win at the top level but his first since Gust Of Wind won the ATC Oaks in 2015, and Gibbons' maiden group 1 victory as a fully-fledged jockey after more than two and a half years. Gibbons made a late surge from second last on the home turn to defeat Chris Waller’s De Armas by a neck. The David Payne-trained Bangkok Hottie came in third. Sargent praised Gibbons for his tactical riding, noting that Gibbons' dedication and ability to handle big races made him the ideal choice despite offers from other riders after Global Goal's previous race.
