Amazing effort by Danny Peisley at Ballina, saddle shifted horse bucked and he stuck as long as humanly possible under the circumstances before reasonably safely dismounting 👍

@TRBHorseRacing Either the Via Sistina rating is very high, or the Ceolwulf rating is very low....

🏇 WFA Performance Ratings ⏱️⚖️📊 – Top 5 winners from Flemington & Rosehill (8/11/25) 👑Via Sistina 105.8 - Completed the Cox Plate–Champions Stakes double for the second straight year, dominating by 2.7L over Zambardo (101.6). 105.8 is just under a length better than her Cox Plate win, but about a length off her 107.5 from this race last year and the QE in the autumn. Now 11 G1 wins from 15 starts in Australia over the past 19 months. ⚡️Giga Kick 102 - Added another chapter to his impressive comeback story with a win in the G1 Champions Sprint. He’s now two from two this preparation and, while still a couple of lengths below his career peaks of 105.5 to 106.7, it was another strong performance that reinforced he still has plenty to offer at this level. 🐺 Ceolwulf 102 - claimed the G1 Champions Mile in a fast run 1600m on Heavy ground, with Pride Of Jenni setting a relentless tempo - over eight lengths faster to the 800m mark than in her Empire Rose win the week prior. Ceolwulf rated 102, down from his 103.3 in the G1 King Charles, where he was far more dominant. On a day when persistent rain made the clock an unreliable guide, the overall time was fast but not elite relative to the early speed. Many rivals underperformed due to the conditions and/or the demanding pace, including Pride Of Jenni, Treasurethe Moment, and Mr Brightside, leaving runner-up Pericles as the key reference point alongside the best guide we can draw from the clock. He’s been in career-best form this preparation with ratings of 101, 101.3, and 99.7, and here lifted again to 101.8 — a new career peak at start 30. Taking that into account, and with speed measures on the day not standing out (albeit with limited reliability), it’s hard to justify rating the race any higher. 💎 Vivy Air 99 - Added merit to the Big Dance form won by Gringotts (102.3) on Tuesday by taking out the Five Diamonds. Aided by a terrific ride to come from the rear up the inside and not go around a horse, she ran the best rating Last 800m, 600m and 400m of the meeting. Improved from her previous best rating of 96.8. 🌞 Sunset Park 99 - Relished the testing conditions to lead all the way and comfortably beat the very much in-form She's A Hustler. Time will tell if she can establish herself at this level with a comfirmation rating.
