Charlevoix

Very nice effort today.  The Vrc St Leger & SA Derby are only week apart this year, so he'll probably go to Morphetville for his next start.

He's a ripper.
Caulfield Cup type

Second horse was good too but this bloke looks like developing into a fair stayer. Has a very nice sustained sprint.

Mick trains all his horses to relax, find their rhythm & work home in the straight with plenty of oxygen still left. He was very specific about this i.e. settle in their comfort zone.

Agree James, races with good tempo will be key to him if he can't be ridden more forward. Ghisoni was coming back from 1500m iirc, is normally an on pacer. Was extremely stiff. They may have learned how to ride her in future tho.

Another horse Kent will be targeting towards the back-end of the Spring Racing Carnival is promising stayer Charlevoix.

Last seen finishing fifth in the South Australian Derby, Kent said the four-year-old would be aimed towards races like the Zipping Classic and Ballarat Cup.

“I probably went one run too far with him and he raced a bit one-paced in the Derby,” he said.

“I was keen to give him a really long break and he had eight weeks off which has limited his spring preparation so we’ve earmarked races like the Zipping Classic and Ballarat Cup.

“His two wins have been at Sandown and he’ll be the fresh horse on the scene and hopefully a few of the opposition will have run out of legs by then.

“He’ll go into the Sandown Classic second- or third-up and it will be a very light spring for him because we’re very bullish that he’ll be a nice stayer in the autumn.”

As do I. I love this horse.

Resumes in the next at Caulfield. Looks like he'll be ready to go 2nd up

I hope that race did not break him. He chased hard all the way.

Entered for the Kyneton Cup 2000m tomorrow.

I have said it before but i can not recall any of Kents horses reaching their full potential. I realise i am jumping the gun with this fellow but it does seem like groundhog day.

Add Tango Rock and Abbey Marie to that...
Has been nominating a lot of his better horses in black type races but scratching them on race day
Would have thought Supido was a morale for this carnival after last prep problems...even his horses nominated in the lesser country meets not performing
Looks like there may be a problem in the stable

Finally gets back to the races today in the 2300m race at Ballarat today.

Will need some luck with his racing pattern and track patterns today.

Flem 5. Should be fitter this time.
