See The World relished a frantic tempo as he powered to a last-to-first victory at Rosehill on Saturday in a performance which had trainer Joe Pride praising both the horse and his jockey.

The six-year-old gelding was a clear last in the Listed Maurice McCarten Stakes (1100m) approaching the home turn but when taken to the outside by Jason Collett, he launched down the centre of the track to win by 2-3/4 lengths.

"They went really quick in front and it looked that way on paper," Pride said.

"Quite often at Rosehill it's still hard to make up that much ground but it was a really dominant win."

Pride has been building a good association with young New Zealand jockey Collett, and believes he has a big future ahead of him.

"I think he's done the right thing coming to Sydney at this early age and getting himself well established," Pride said of the 21-year-old.

"I just think he's an all-round really talented rider. He just seems to get it right. For a kid his age, it's quite remarkable."

See The World, who'll run next in the Sebring Stakes in two weeks, defeated Anise with 1-1/4 lengths to Hurrara third.

The Paul Perry-trained Hidden Warrior was a late scratching after being presented with steel work shoes instead of race plates.

The trainer was fined $500.

"It's the same farrier that's worked for me for years," Perry told stewards.

"He knows all the horses and this is the first time anything like this has happened."

Perry said there were two horses in adjoining boxes and the wrong horse must have been plated.

"It could be a blessing," Perry said. "The way the race was run he couldn't have won."
