Interestingly named 2yo in the 3rd: Spirit of Gaylard, by the grey stallion Puissance de Lune from the mare White Dove.  Presumably named for the quite recently late Rob Gaylard.

Almost needless to say Rob was grey and then white on top over his last twenty years or so.

A lovely tribute to a most popular and respected racing identity.

The 2yo race at Flemington is the best 2yo race of the season so far.

Hopeful of Puissance De Lune double at Sat

In R4 Heart of Puissance just had to hold his form to win this 2500m race with Jamie Kah aboard.

In R7, I’m always excited by 3yo staying races at this time of year. I like the way French Moon has been progressing.  3yo by Puissance De Lune with Ciaron Maher & Oli to ride.

Others thoughts on the prospects of these 2 sons of PDL?

Both right in the mix LH.

HoP will be short, whilst the other one does appear overs in the pre-post betting.

Gaylard legacy to be remembered at HQ

Ben Sporle

Ben Sporle@bensporle

19 May, 2021

, (

Rob Gaylard was synonymous with Flemington as the face and voice of the mounting yard for more than 20 years, and at the racecourse on Saturday Spirit Of Gaylard will make his debut in the $125,000 Racing.com Plate (1400m).

Lost to the industry in July last year, Gaylard dedicated a lifetime to horses and the racing media and was a friend and mentor to many.

Several of those friends - Terry Henderson, Gerry Ryan and John Spence - are hoping his legacy can carry on for many years through their Puissance de Lune colt, who steps out at Headquarters for the first time on Saturday.

Gaylard's wife Karen is also shareholder in the horse.

"Gerry Ryan and I brought the horse in New Zealand and as he got closer to the breaking-in stage we thought it would be a nice way to remember Rob," OTI Racing's Henderson explained.

"We asked Rob's wife Karen if it was ok and she was delighted and she is also a small shareholder in the horse as well.

"Rob and Karen have raced several horses with us and also have a share in Petruchio at the moment.

"Rob and I used to race trotters together and he was a great mate for many years."

Trained by Mitch Freedman, the colt cost $120,000 at the 2020 Karaka Yearling Sales and Henderson is hoping he can do Gaylard proud in his race debut.

"He really has a brain this horse and I think the 1400 metres at Flemington, while it might test him out, is a nice starting point for him," Henderson said.

"He has showed good promise for a middle-distance horse and we are really looking forward to seeing what he can do in the autumn."

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing

Thanks Shawy, thought I might have got it right.

Off to Melbourne tomorrow and Flemington on Saturday.  Have already backed the Griffiths/De Kock entries Bring The Stars in Race 3 and Halvorsen in the 8th on an each-way basis at $8.50 and $10.00 respectively.

And if the first one manages to get up might just put a bit more into the latter.
