Unfortunately, in the process, All Out For Six moved onto The Grey King, who in turn shifted into the path of One Stripe.
Hot favourite, and G1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate/G1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas hero, One Stripe was lucky not to come down in running and had to settle for sixth place in Sunday’s R5 000 000 race.
