An inspirational season for trainer Rod Simpson finished in the best possible way with his Group I performer Fryvolous winning the 20009 Group I Kahayla Classic with the utmost ease and a great ride by Daragh O'Donohoe who confidently took the winner to the front into the straight and powered away over the 2000m trip, this race coming after two Group I victories in sprint races and it shows how versatile Fryvolous is and he is a horse who could defend his title here next season as he runs on any surface as well. Nil Blanc from Qatar ran a great race in second place under Adrie de Vries for trainer Rashid Al Jehani from Qatar and they were well clear of third place finisher Paris Gagner with Richard Hills riding for trainer Doug Watson.
