Race Of The Week 6th August 2026There were scenes rarely witnessed on a racetrack at Menangle on Saturday night as a blanket of thick fog turned the Kevin Newman Free For All into one of the more interesting races of the season. When they finally burst from the fog, it was Glitter Aint Gold producing a spectacular finishing burst. The five-year-old son of Bling It On stopped the clock in 1:51.9, overcoming the rain-affected conditions to claim the Listed feature after launching his run from well back in the field. While the victory was impressive, it was the extraordinary conditions that made the race unforgettable. It was a finish worthy of the conditions—Glitter Aint Gold seemingly materialising from nowhere to snatch victory in one of the most visually dramatic races seen at Menangle in a while.
