THE corks were popping for some local racing enthusiasts last Friday when Champagne In Lace ($4.60) won Race 2 at Canberra, a Benchmark 50 Handicap over 1000 metres. Trained by Matt Kelley and ridden confidently by Billy Owen, the four-year-old mare led for most of the journey to win by about a half length from Forbidden Gemstone ridden by Teaghan Martin for Garry Kirkup.
