Something tells me this could get to be quite a long list soon.
A couple from the weekend caught my eye. Sands of Time who went to the line, stride for stride, with the winner (Empire's Choice). Showed a nice turn of foot when clear.
Sheezvalue, Roman Squire and Theseo, all very impressive in winning. Nearly bought a share in Theseo a few years back if i remember correctly. Woulda', shoulda' coulda' and all that, but am sorry i didn't now!
Kyros; seemed to be plugging along, plenty of hype not a lot of action, but when he finally woke up and figured it out, absolutely flew home. Might pay to keep an eye on. I think he'll be up against it next time out in a lot tougher race. Olliver is switching back to Keiki, so Scott Seamer takes the ride, which doesn't inspire a huge amount of confidence. But their will be a win in two in him i'm sure. Would be a nice bet e/w at odds.
Burnzy in Perth is a horse i had Blackbooked previously, however i couldn't remember why when it came to the race on Sat. He duly saluted and judging by the run, and with a little improvement, their should be more to come form him in the future.
As for the horses i mentioned previously. Mohawk went OK. Has often been a little flat second time out, judging by the times he has run in previous preps. Was far from disgraced running a creditable fourth in a tough race. Given the right race, their should be a decent performance in him.
Jeteye was disappointing for mine. Heard Mark Sheehan comment during the call that Jeteye was under the whip rounding the home turn. Will put it down to a flat performance, 4th run into this prep, but would expect a much improved perfomance next time out or he'll be getting the chop! Real gutsy win by the winner though, Oakland Lad. Nice work Mav.
Jest for Fun ran a decent race in Adelaide but was blocked for a run at a crucial time in the str8. Pity, 'cos the horse flew home for second. With some luck/better ride their will be a win next time out.
Didn't really spend much time on Melb or Sydney. So am all ears if others have anything from the weekend.
