Centennial Park has caused an upset in the 2011 Expressways Stakes at Rosehill today, beating home more fancied rivals with an impressive run. Running as Race 6 today at Rosehill, on the last race meeting run by the Sydney Turf Club before the merger with the AJC begins on Monday, the $200,000 Expressway Stakes featured a field of just six horses.

Race favourite Hot Danish lead for most of the 1200m race but could only manage third after a strong run home by Centennial Park and Love Conquers All. A photo was needed to decide the minor placings, with Love Conquers All getting the nod ahead of the star mare.

5-year-old Thorn Park gelding Centennial Park, trained by David Payne, has had 24 career starts for 7 wins and adds $130,000 in prize money to their total with today’s win. Centennial Park was riden by Corey Brown and paid $11.60 for the win with Luxbet.
