Street Impact makes it a tough win at Metropolitan level at her first start on the 12th July 2017 at Sandown Lakeside. A tremendous job by the entire team at Ultra Racing and Aquanita for Robert Smerdon – it’s been a long road to the races!!!
Robert Smerdon had just seen Street Cry filly Street Impact score a fighting win in a thrilling three-horse finish to the 1200-metre event, but not in the fashion he might have expected.
“We’ll always accept a win, but I think she’s a lot better than what we saw here,” Smerdon said.
“I think there’s more to come once she gets more confident in what she’s doing.
“That was probably one of the few times she’s had to come under pressure, but to see her win narrowly is a relief but I thought she’d win clearly.
“Today’s a good start point, a good outcome, but we’ve seen a lot more than that and I think there’s a lot more to come.
