Racing Stables Update
Hi Everyone, there are three of our stable runners entered at Belmont Park today and all appear to have solid chances. Swiss Watch kicks us off in race 2, a 3yo colts and geldings race over 1000m. With two second placings from as many starts, he should again give his lucky owners a good run for their money.
His recent work is good leading into this race and he's also drawn pretty well at the barriers in number 5 which should enable him to race up on the pace again which is where he seems to like it.. There is a late riding change as jockey Paul King was injured at trackwork yesterday morning and will be replaced by Brad Parnham.
Baron Orczy makes his comeback to racing in race 3, a 1000m class 6 event. He's drawn awkwardly in barrier 7 but with the experience of Jason Whiting, he should be able to keep out of trouble and be a chance in the finish. Only a lack of fitness will stop him winning as most of his opponents today have runs under their belt whereas he doesn't. His class should pull him through though.
Danish Sea goes around in race 5 today. After some close up finishes at her last 4 starts all in the city, she's drawn to win here starting from barrier 1, and with apprentice Jess Hill's claim, she'll carry just 51.5kg. Her work is good and although it's a more than handy midweek field, she appears to be our best winning chance for the afternoon.
Red Wine again goes to Northam tomorrow in an attempt to break through for a long overdue win. He's becoming a bit frustrating although if you haven't quite worked it out yet, frustration is a BIG part of racing! Troy Turner climbs into the pigskin again and following a top gallop last Friday morning, and given normal luck in running, the pair should be hard to beat despite once again drawing a wide barrier.
Anabaa Star was entered for a race in Victoria today but has been scratched for no other reason than the wide barrier. I just don't want to chance her getting caught wide and having a tough run first up. Better waiting for another day with her. There's plenty of races in the next week or so.
Having said that, she's going particularly well in her trackwork, and in the opinion of trainer Dale Sutton, going better than Red Geisha who made her racetrack debut when she went to Pakenham on Monday. Although she ran second beaten a head, the run had to be seen to be believed as she thundered home down the outside after being second last on the turn and last at the 150m. It was a phenomenal effort and a real "be on me next time" run. She's pulled up fine from the run and will have one more provincial start before being tried in the city-hopefully at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day!
Evert went to the trials on Monday and after losing six lengths coming out of the barrier, she ran on to finish fifth to the unbeaten Real Mak. With two trial runs now under her belt, she's read to go to the races and I'm sure she'll be hard to beat first up in the right race. It'll more than likely be Northam next Thursday.
Magnetic Bay was a shade unlucky when unplaced at the Gold Coast on Saturday. If not for receiving interference, he would surely have finished second-although no match for the winner who won by six lengths. We'll up the distance of Magnetic Bay's races now and enter him for a 1600m race back at the Gold Coast on Saturday week.
Nectareign is flying in his work at Randwick and will trial next week.
Girl In A Storm and Open Eyre return from spells this week as do our unraced and unnamed Kenvain and Verglas two year olds. All are well.
All the others coming through their programme are fine. All the spellers are well.
