Well spotted Shawy! Won at even money favourite today at Stawell. DKW interview indicated he’s looking forward to getting him out to 2000m |

| Victoria's leading trainer also confirmed one of his intended Group 1 Queensland Derby runners has dropped out of contention, with his classy 3YO Furrion heading to the paddock after his second placing in last Saturday's Le Pine Funerals Handicap at Caulfield. |

IF you are backing this smart horse tomorrow you will be betting if he can get out from 3 or 4 back on the fence in the straight. If he gets out he wins. I will give it a miss though.

Looks to be on the Puissance De Lune trail this spring, a light autumn and back for big races next year. This is a good guide for this owner, as to how good they think the horse is, because the connections obviously feel he can carry the extra weight next year, by winning the Bendigo Cup and Queen Elizabeth this spring. Has done everything right so far! ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

Posted By: djebel

I just watched every one of his races and he has perfect racing manners and tip top ability. He is going to race himself into a very high rating. They have seriously missed the boat by not having the Caulfield Cup on the radar. He wins the Bendigo Cup and the Queen Elizabeth or what ever the final spring target is and he will be on 105+ when Summer comes along. Are they also going to skip next autumn to save themselves for next spring ? Lucky For All is another that is not entered for any of the Cups. Our trainers are far too conservative with our staying prospects. Rekindling was having his 10th start when winning the Cup. Sure he has not been seen since but at least he has a Cup on the board. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

He's still only an 'actual' 3yo I believe djebel, there's no need to gut him yet against older horses. Allow him to furnish & mature & I'm sure he'll cope well with any increased weights. ------------- Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it! |

I agree should not be forced but he races in perfect formation doing everything right. I think they are wasting a season for no good reason. We all know a week is a long time in racing. Anything could happen in the next 13 and half months. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

That is twice he has failed at 2000m. I suspect he either does not stay or he is sick of racing by the time he gets to 2000m. I'd freshen him up and nominate him for the Kennedy Mile. If he does not get a run so be it. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

Agree - may have reached his level for now too. Leave it to the trainer to make that decision, he seems to get it right from time to time. If not, maybe a bit longer in the paddock, and have a crack at the Villiers - lots of fun to be had with a 4 yo gelding if it turns out he's adept at the Randwick Mile. Whichever way they go, they were patient till now, don't want to be too greedy. ------------- In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT! |

They are going to push on to the Bendigo Cup. Out in trip and a bigger track, seem to think that will be to his liking. Would prefer he was to draw out a little, barrier 1 does not suit his style. |
Posted By: Tim Whiffler
Date Posted: 16 Oct 2018 at 1:37pm
Agree. Weiry’s horses are mostly trained to settle and run on. He seemed to race too keen at Cranbourne, leaving less in the tank at the business end. The Bendigo Cup has always been his Grand Final. We will find out if he stays then! |

Watching the replay it was just an ok run. Amazed to see that he started favourite in a G3 1400m race! He’ll definitely be better for the run & up in trip next start. He’s got talent, just not sure what races on the calendar will suit him. Maybe an Easter Cup 2000m at Caulfield next month? |

I was on each way MK, so wish he could have reeled in Plan Ciel. But $2.90 the place was a more than satisfactory return. It’s a quandary for connections though as to where they go moving forward. Do they press on to Brissie or spell and gear up for the Spring? |

Which hardly makes sense. Had been in the paddock for two months before going to Hayes, and in a similar environment beforehand. Far from the first time Hayes has inferred prior trainers or conditions were a factor in his initial inability to get horses up.

Without the interference it goes very close to winning. Plain Ciel was the beneficiary of that incident no doubt. ------------- " In gambling the many must lose in order for the few to win" |

Looks like the VRC's exmption for the big one has resulted in renewed interest in the Ramsden. So that is Furrion, Steel Prince, Sin To Win, the NZ'er Felaar, and the deserving favourite Surprise Baby, looks like being a good off season race! ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

Stretched out nicely in the straight today over 1400m. He probably won’t be the horse we hoped prior to his injury, but would be great to see him get back to some good form. I figure we’ll see him over 1700-1800m next start, so might be worth following over the winter.

Confirmed that he’s come back in good order this prep with another tidy run for 2nd today over 1600m at Flemington in the Winter Championship Final. Didn’t quicken with the winner but stuck to his task very well. Wins next start at 1800-2000m.

Absolutely Shawy $$$  Great to see him win again. Lindsay Smith mentioned a 2000m race at MV as his next assignment. I know he’s not raced at MV before but I’d be sticking to Flemington &/or Caulfield where he’s a proven commodity. But full kudos to Lindsay for getting him back in cracking form.
