Testarossa,NOT having a go at you here,but Slice of Paradise is actually a 2yo filly by Encosta de Largo,who I think was also trained by Lee Freedman,and was quite a good horse.I hasten to add that I share your opinion of her though,think she has a very bright future.As good as Testarossa?Only time will tell.I note from Lee's comments in the Sunday Mail here in Qld.that he has a high opinion of her.Lee Freedman:Quote"I am looking forward to running her in the Sires Produce on the bigger Eagle Farm track.She was in restricted room a lot of the way today and I am sure she will take a lot of benefit from that run.I was encouraged by the fact that she was so strong on the line."End quote.It was also mentioned in the stewards report that Promoted shifted out at the entrance to the straight and made contact with Slice of Paradise,most likely putting her completely off balance and she would have lost her momentum at that crucial stage of the race.More than likely a jockey change too,as Lee was also quoted as saying how impressed he is with M.Rodd after his ride to win on Bush Padre.Hopefully she can get us a dollar or two by winning the Sires!!
Cheers
