Belhus Racing Stable Update
Hi Everyone, we have four runners this week, one on Thursday, two on Saturday and the other on Sunday! Interestingly, they're racing in three different states!
EVERT steps out in race 6 at Northam on Thursday at what will be her first start in this preparation. She's had the benefit of two recent trials which has her looking quite fit for the 1400m. Her trackwork last Friday and Tuesday morning was hard to fault and we're looking forward to seeing her run. There's a couple in there that might be hard to get by first up, but I'm sure she'll run a forward race at decent odds! Steven Parnham will ride.
BARON ORCZY has his second run this preparation and his first ever at Ascot as he steps out in a 3MW (restricted to horses that have won 3 or less Saturday races) race over 1100m. He's drawn very wide in barrier 15 at the weights stage, but may come in a few with scratchings and Willie Pike will jump back on board after missing the ride last start through suspension. All's well with the Baron though and he'll improve 6 lengths on his last effort. This will be his stiffest task to date but we're confident he'll be good enough.
MAGNETIC BAY goes around on his home track at the Gold Coast on Saturday in a 1600m event which should be right up his alley. All the reports are that he's crying out for more ground, so he'll certainly get that here and should be one of the hardest to beat. Chris Whitely who won on him previously is being chased for the ride and I'll confirm with the owners when we know for sure who's on top. Magnetic Bay's work is very good and trainer Dale Sutton expects him to show up.
Dale also has ANABAA STAR going around from his Victorian stables, and she's another first up runner for us. She'll be going to Seymour on Sunday. She too has trialled twice prior to running and with the addition of blinkers to her gear, she'll be sent forward in an attempt to lead. Dale describes her as a timid horse who may be better suited out in front rather than being surrounded by other horses. Her work is excellent although I'd rather see what she does at the races before declaring her as a bet. Mark Pegus will take the ride.
NECTAREIGN trailled at Randwick on Tuesday and ran just behind the placegetters in fourth place after being slow away and forced to race wide. He needed the run though and trainer Gai Waterhouse will trial him again, as she normally does, in 10-14 days time.
RED GEISHA is working well since her first up run last week and is programmed in to run at Ballarat next Friday. The trainer told me "she'll walk in" which I hope means she'll win easy, and all being well she can go to Flemington on Cup Day for a 1400m fillies race after that.
DANISH SEA was entered for two races this weekend but has drawn wide for both. We'll save her for another day. She's holding her form and looked in top order for trainer Paul Jordan at Ascot trackwork on Tuesday morning. Paul had quite a few others there too on Tuesday including SWISS WATCH who'll be entered for a race next week, OPEN EYRE, FIRE FROM ICE and MEXICAN MIST who have all just returned to the stables after spelling well. The galloping grey. Mexican Mist in particular looked a million dollars after a lengthy spell, and he went around two laps quiet with his head on his chest. ENCIPHER did a bit of evens and is looking strong and shaping up nicely. He'll trial in two and half weeks time. GIRL IN A STORM and ASCOLTA are in light work and HARRASSER returns to trainer John Price's Ascot stables this weekend. The other two greys in Perth, the Kenvain filly and Verglas colt have both just started pre training during the last week.
In the east again and JAKE THE MUSK has returned to trainer Guy Walter's stables after a period of pre training. The reports are all good on him and the track rider there said he felt very powerful under saddle and predicts that he'll "really gallop". MAKE SOME NOISE is at the same place where Jake was and will start pre training in the next week. Also just starting in light work is ZABRINSKI, who has spelled well. The SUCCESS EXPRESS (who has just been gelded) and ROYAL ACADEMY 2yo's with Gai are doing well and coming along as expected. RED HOT FOX is due back next week after completing a 6 week spell.
ARRANBRAE has had a setback with an an infection that he's picked up and he has been out of work for a week and a half. He's at the vets as we speak and we're keeping our fingers crossed with him.
All the spellers are doing fine. We had our big AKHENATON colt gelded on our property this week, and he's recovering as nicely as one could expect.
