Never Again is SW131 for High Chaparral winning Saturday’s Chester Manifold Stakes (1400m) at Flemington.
Last approaching the home turn, Never Again came with a sustained finish in the home straight to reach the lead late on and edge Vassilator (Zacinto) and Brave Song (Your Song).
Never Again is the best of six winners left by Rollon Rose (Encosta de Lago), a winning half-sister to three-time Gr1 winner Regal Roller (Regal Classic), whose wins included the Futurity and Invitation Stakes at Caulfield.
The third-dam Mania (Karaman) is a half-sister to juvenile Listed winner Sartorial Splendour (Beau Brummel) and the fifth-dam Midget (Djebe) won the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket.
Champion Classic winner High Chaparral (Sadler’s Wells) died in February 2014. He has active Gr1 winning sons So You Think, Dundeel, Free Eagle and Toronado.
