Mojo Rhythm gave trainer Mitchell Pateman something to cheer about as he leapt into Railway Stakes (1,600m) contention after winning the Group 3 R.I. Peters Stakes (1,500m) at mammoth odds at Ascot on Nov 16.
The $149 shot (on the Singapore tote) ended the day on a positive note for the former jockey - after his stable pin-up Almighty Class toughed it out to run a spirited fourth after racing wide for most of the Group 3 Colonel Reeves Stakes (1,100m) earlier in the day.
Stepping up for the Pateman stable and winning his first race since the 2023 Peters Stakes when successful over recent Melbourne Group winner Alsephina, Mojo Rhythm, this time with Pat Carbery aboard, defeated Yonga Lass (William Pike) and Amber Glide (Shaun O'Donnell).
In a slow and muddling-run affair early, Carbery snagged Mojo Rhythm back towards the tail of the field.
He bided his time before setting sail for home after getting into the clear in the home straight to hold off the fast-finishing Yonga Lass by a short neck.
