LAST-start Thackery Steeplechase winner Sea King added a second consecutive feature race win to his resume with a tenacious win in the AUS $100,000 Mosstropper Steeplechase at Bendigo on Sunday.

Ridden by Steven Pateman for Patrick Payne, the Shinko King gelding defied his 70kg top-weight to withhold the challenge of Gold A Plenty and Tom Ryan, who failed to find the extra half-length to turn around the result. Third was Wells with Richard Cully.
