Beautiful Romance has completed a Sandown stakes race treble for three different Godolphin trainers with a fighting win in the Zipping Classic.Her victory on Saturday gave trainer Saeed bin Suroor a Group Two victory after Qewy had earlier in the program won the Listed Sandown Cup for English trainer Charlie Appleby and Mortons Fork took out the Group Two Sandown Guineas for John OShea.Godolphin spokesman Andy Makiv said he was not sure if the feat had been done before.Its a great achievement to get three stakes races on the one day for three different stables, Makiv said.Ridden by Glyn Schofield, Beautiful Romance was backed from $6 to $5 before defeating Almoonqith ($5.50) by a short half-head with Big Orange ($5.50) a head away third.Along with stablemate Secret Number, Beautiful Romance was sent to Melbourne on the second shipment of international horses for the Melbourne Cup and performed best of the pair behind Almandin.She was very brave in the Melbourne Cup and as we know the form from the Melbourne Cup holds up well into this race, Makiv said.She certainly presented with a great chance and ran right up to it.Schofield had Beautiful Romance racing in fifth position early in the 3200m contest but feared his hopes may have been dashed when she lost her momentum around the hometurn.Who Shot Thebarman shifted off the fence slightly on the corner and my stablemate (Secret Number) outside me was going nowhere and I had no horse to drag me into the race, Schofield said.She lost a little bit of momentum at that stage but when it was needed she picked up and went again.Schofield said Beautiful Romance had produced a creditable Melbourne Cup performance after knuckling at the start.It was fitting she won today, he said.Oliver, chasing a double aboard Almoonqith, said the stayer had turned victory into defeat.He was home for the world but he pulled-up on me, Oliver said.Damian Lane, rider of third placed Big Orange, said the English stayer wasnt helped by the strong wind down the back straight but had fought the race out courageously.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Channelling nerves and fear into a positive force isnt easy but Adam Peaty, like so many great champions, has become an expert at doing it.The Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth 100 metre title holder used to feel sick when he made finals. Now the pressure spurs him on.As I got more experienced and more mature, I kind of developed myself into a fight or flight [person] -- and Ive fought every time, he said after his successes in Brazil.And the transformation has been such that Peaty was described as a real thrill seeker by his family, someone who enjoys being on the edge.His pride and joy at home is his Mercedes AMG A45 sports car -- loud and very fast, according to girlfriend Anna Zair - and the boy who couldnt stand frightening films has turned into a man who loves thrillers.I dont get into the car, said mum Caroline. I did it once after a meal and I begged him not to drive fast -- he frightened the living daylights out of me.Peaty, then, clearly has a need for speed, and his swimming has been giving an indication of that for a while. But when he chooses to relax by forcing himself to cower on the sofa, he has taken it to another level.Adam likes to watch horror films, Zair said. Our favourite film is The Conjuring. Its the scariest film I have ever seen. It kept him awake for a few nights. Im fine, its Adam clinging on to me. He is the one who is terrified of them.His mother added: Adam used to hate horror films. He used to get pinned down by his brothers to watch them. One time he was watching the Exorcist and one of us came into the room and it scared the living daylights out of him.Perhapss the adrenaline junkie has always been a part of Peatys make up, he just needed someone to bring it out of him.ddddddddddddHis coaches have done that, working hard with him on his mental approach over the last couple of years. The way his ability to stand strong has spread to other aspects of his life suggests there will be no slipping back, no faltering in the face of fear for this impressive British champion.That was certainly the case when he took gold on Sunday and those who have tutored him can take a great chunk of credit again.Bill said something really vital to me, Peaty said, referring to British Swimming head coach Bill Furniss. He just said burn the boats. So you imagine doubt was a boat, you burn it and then attack.That phrase is exactly what Mel [Marshall, his City of Derby coach of seven years] said to me before the race and I knew exactly what it meant -- get rid of all doubt and then attack with everything youve got.The adrenaline Peaty seems to enjoy so much would have been one of the reasons he got just 30 minutes sleep in what remained of the night after he won gold.He has some time now before he competes in the 4x100m medley, which starts Friday, and the only challenge facing him other than his preparation, is how to compete with nan Mavis, who has become a social media sensation during the Games.Adam has not spoken to Mavis [yet], his mother explained. But he was quite peeved about the Twitter. It took Adam ages to get over 6,000 followers and Mavis got them over night! ' ' '
