Yep it's on kiwiz! Early stab quinella - Red Cadeaux, Protectionist, Happy Trails & Foreteller |
Not looked in detail at the race yet,,but should be a good 'un!
|
Red Cadeaux - 5th,,looked a good run
Protectionist - 8th,,perhaps slightly disappointing Nothing lost from a Melbourne Cup perspective |
Red Cadeaux has arrived in Sydney
Has settled in well Next start BMW March 28 & then Sydney Cup April 11 |

Ditto Protectionist |
They're are touting To The World for the BMW. Claiming the horse to be the best Japanese horse to come to Australia. Import Hartnell has done a treat since arriving in Australia, even better suited by the 2400m. All set for a great race!

Change in plans Bypassing the BMW,,Sydney Cup next stop |

Bookies not taking any chances with To The World Too short for mine! Expecting improved efforts from Protectionist & Lucia Valentina |
Quote:
Protectionist 5th Lucia Valentina 7th No excuses |

And they fought it out, tooth & nail! |
Quote:
and would you believe Red Cadeaux bypasses the Sydney Cup & will run in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes instead !? |
Quote:
The track condition put a question mark against Red Cadeaux stamina over 2 mile, so they went with the shorter race |
Made the right move.

Queen Elizabeth Stakes quinella, Criterion / Red Cadeaux set to do battle again, in Hong Kong, The Audemars Piguet QEII Cup, tomorrow |
Protectionist pulled up extremely sore after a disappointing performance in the Sydney Cup
But tests since have cleared Protectionist of serious injury The results showed Protectionist had bruising on his left knee but no chips or breaks Protectionist now spelled for six to eight weeks and then checked to determine whether he pursues a spring campaign |

Criterion (3rd) fought on well to just get beat for 2nd Red Cadeaux 2nd last Winner Blazing Speed |

The Grey Gatsby bit stiff to get beaten Should have won imo Criterion 5th Will now spell in England before returning to Australia to prepare for the Spring |
Quote:
Yep, saw that race, should have won Repeatedly denied a clear run in the straight Got beat a short head by the winner Free Eagle after finishing strongly once clear |
Quote:
And despite his defeat, the Racing Post rated The Grey Gatsby's run as the best performance of the five-day meeting! |
Quote:
Golden Horn would be no slouch then. Recently beat The Grey Gatsby by 3.5 lengths in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes. The Grey Gatsby had every chance. |
And I think Golden Horn is a 3yo whilst The Grey Gatsby is a 4yo.
