I agree Sunline, as long as they do not get to greedy they will have a lot of fun with her. Looks a Australian Guineas, Coolmore mare to my eye, and having the light spring should allow her to mature a little bit more.

| So why does a jockey that can't make a living in his own state , outride our best? Because as I have said before? There is nothing between the best (or the best on the list that's printed) and good jockeys. There are a lot of good jockeys. But the press? But all these gurus think jockey X is a star . But reality is there is little between them. Light weights get more opportunities. C Williams proves that |

One thing that worried me is that trainer said she doesn't like being boxed in. I only saw it live so far, but it seemed like Darmanin had a bit (well, a lot actually) of luck but also eased her just enough at times to keep her comfortable enough to produce her finish. Great to watch. I hope he stays on her. |

| Probably? And it looks like trainer was wrong! Horse loved racing on inside. But if got beat? Would not of being saying great run?

Horse like it’s runs spaced Will have 4 runs before plate. Doesn’t like being in paddock and struggled to keep it there the 8 weeks. I’m guessing it runs July 27. Then 4 weeks later. Then next 3 races all 3 weeks apart. ------------- Horse owner, breeder, punter. |

Well if spacing the runs works then all good. Always a worry that she mightn't come back as good but equally she might come back better so let's see I guess. Certainly some top races up for the taking this Spring depending on who comes from overseas.

She seems like the type of horse that will keep improving. It’s not as though she was fully developed young and was beating up on smaller horses.

 Overseas travel considered for Mystic JourneyGrace Ramage https://www.twitter.com/gramage_" rel="nofollow - @gramage_ 1:38pm https://www.racing.com/news/2019-07-04/news-overseas-travel-considered-for-mystic-journey#" rel="nofollow - Adding to the excitement of Mystic Journey’s return to the races, Adam Trinder has announced his intentions to allow the Group 1 winning-filly to compete on the world stage. Trinder explains that while his and connections’ focus firmly remains on her upcoming spring campaign, they are daring to dream of travelling the daughter of Needs Further, if she continues her all-conquering path. “We are looking at the long-range plan with her, we are not going to over tax her, she’ll just have four or five runs per preparation,” Trinder told Racing.com at his Spreyton property. “But we’d love to travel her at some stage, whether that be Japan or Hong Kong, they are probably the two countries that appeal to us most directly. “I don’t think that will transpire in her four-year-old year, that’s probably more likely to occur in her five-year-old year, if all is going well.” Trinder has mapped a four or five run spring campaign heading toward the Cox Plate for the rising four-year-old and explains the Tasmanian filly will most likely return to the races in late July. < ="https://ps.brightcove.net/3461375237001/SJTK8W0sx_default/index.?Id=6014629833001" style="-sizing: border-; : ; border-width: initial; border-style: none; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 630px; height: 354.375px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px;"> “Obviously our next preparation is directly in our mindset and that’s a five run preparation culminating in the Cox Plate,” Trinder explained. “She’s (less) than a month away from her first up assignment, she’ll head to 1200 metres first-up (in the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes at Caulfield) and continue to improve throughout the campaign as the distances rise. “The initial mindset at this stage is that we’ll (then) go the month into the Memsie Stakes at 1400 metres, but that may potentially be her kick-off point, we’ll just monitor that ground there for the Bletchingly. “If the ground is suitable then she’ll take her opportunity in the Bletchingly, if not we’ll just wait (until the Memsie) and start off over 1400 metres. “At this stage, all boding well, she'll have four races and then into the Cox Plate.” Mystic Journey enjoyed a lengthy spell in the paddock after her outstanding autumn campaign, where she not only won the inaugural All-Star Mile at Flemington on March 16 but won the G1 Australian Guineas two weeks earlier at the same venue. < ="https://ps.brightcove.net/3461375237001/SJTK8W0sx_default/index.?Id=6009154559001" style="-sizing: border-; : ; border-width: initial; border-style: none; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 630px; height: 354.375px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px;"> While she hasn’t grown, Trinder says she’s strengthened and he’s confident she can take the next step as a four-year-old mare. “She came out after the All-Star Mile and had six weeks in the paddock, she could have quite easily raced again after the All-Star Mile, she wasn’t dented in any regard, she was still at the top of her game,” said Trinder. “But as a three-year-old filly I didn’t see the reason to tax her anymore, there was no need for us to be in Sydney through the autumn so we put her away. “She spelled at my farm and let down really quickly in a short period of time which is always a good sign. “She’s really deepened down through the shoulder and she’s got a bit of strength about her hindquarter. “She hasn’t grown that much in height or stature but she’s just probably furnished at the back end of her three-year-old year. “The breed do tend to get a little bit better with age, she’s obviously got Zabeel right through her bloodline, so I’m hoping the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree.” For more on the Mystic Journey story make sure you tune into Racing.com’s exclusive feature, going to air on Racing.com soon. ------------- Rebel - racing.

I see Darmanin was suspended for another ride today. I would think if I was a jockey in his position, where I have a gold plated superstar for a carnival, that I may think about just riding that horse only during their prep. I remember Scott Seamer during Ethereal's spring where he rode a few others, but he restricted himself, and never put his ride on her, in jeopardy. If I was Anthony I would be just riding her over the next two months. If she goes through thsi prep undefeated, this could set Anthony up for life financially! ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |
