The Chris Ryder trained Handlelikeaporsche made it back to back Grand Circuit stakes wins at the Red Mile, taking out an International Stallion Stakes division in a career best 1:50.2.

Having won his Bluegrass Stakes division by more than eight lengths the previous weekend, Handlelikeaporsche was the shortest of favourites to make it successive stakes wins.

In front by the quarter pole, Handlelikeaporsche had the race well in hand throughout, coasting to an uncontested one and three quarter length win.  

It was the Lazarus colt’s third win and improved his earnings to $228,850.

Handlelikeaporsche is out of the American Ideal mare The Signature, a half-sister to the 2013 Little Brown Jug winner Vegas Vacation.
