Time to put it on the line!
These are horses I've spotted who have good strides and appear to show some ability. These are horses I've earmarked that might step up in grade and may pay to follow. I don't know whether this will be profitable or not, but I'm going to follow them in a stable system, win, lose or break down.
It doesn't matter the time they ran, nor the sectionals, because good horses don't have to run time to win, they just do it with dominance and very often the jockey eases them down. With notable exceptions of Northerly, Octagonal, Kingston Town and others, most good horses do not have to have their ears scrubbed off to win, they make a move at one point in the race which wins them the race. Lonhro was an example, he'd whip around the field and usually take control, that was his trademark. Black Caviar had the race shot to pieces by putting herself in a winning position and then cruising home.
Photon Willie
Great stride and speed but very green.
Nearly threw a race away by wanting to go back to the stable a week ago.
On Friday they ran him in a barrier trial at Warwick Farm and he was ridden quietly and then pushed to the line without incident.
Pay to follow.
Octavia
Great stride and won well Saturday.
