Big week ahead for all TRL owners

Oct 4, 2021

It is a massive week ahead for owners in The Racing League with four runners hitting the track to start October. We have all states hitting the track this week, with more to come over the next few months. It really is all starting to heat up!

October 4: The Sherpa, looking to go back to back at Muswellbrook for the NSW Tycoons

October 6: Bellinger, makes his debut for the Vic Husslers over 1100m at Sale

October 6: The Big Goodbye, back in action for the Qld Rogues at Doomben

October 9: The Captain, makes his debut for the Vic Husslers and Matt Cumani in the Hamilton Cup

Let’s first take a look at The Sherpa who is racing at Muswellbrook on Monday October 4 in Race 4, with jockey Ashley Morgan hoping to make it two wins from two rides on him this preparation. If all goes well, Brett will be targeting the Highway on Everest Day in a few weeks. What a thrill that would be! Relive The Sherpa’s victory at Scone a few weeks ago to get you ready for the run:

It is a big week for the VIC Husslers with two runners ready to hit the races in the one week! Bellinger makes his debut for the VIC Husslers on Wednesday at Sale, with in form jockey Jamie Mott taking the ride. The team at Lindsay Park have been very impressed with his work this preparation, and can’t wait for him to be the first runner for the Husslers this Wednesday.

Yulong Captain is ready to take on the Hamilton Cup on Saturday October 11, with trainer Matt Cumani having planned out a nice preparation for him over the next couple of months. The end goal is making it into the Listed Pakenham Cup on December 4 over 2500m. We can’t wait to see how he goes on the track! His form so far is solid so there is no reason it won’t continue to be so over the next few months.

The Big Goodbye is ready to run at Doomben on Wednesday October 4 after a bit of a hiccup following his last run in early September. He has drawn barrier 6 in Race 5 on Wednesday with jockey Taylor Marshall taking the ride. With his gate speed the barrier shouldn’t be too much of an issue, and he looks hard to beat. Relive his last start effort when he narrowly missed out on the win at Eagle Farm:

So what are you waiting for? The excitement is really starting to build in all three states in The Racing League! Owners might not be allowed at the track in VIC or NSW currently, but that won’t stop them cheering home their runners from the lounge room. Who will come out on top of the ladder following this weeks racing? Become an owner today for just $200 and $20 a month and live the excitement of race horse ownership!

Big week ahead for all TRL owners

Oct 4, 2021

Cool Jakey was the King of Warwick Farm  on Wednesday and NSW Tycoons owners would like to package the Metropolitan track and just take it wherever Cool Jakey goes after he kept his undefeated record intact. 

It’s remarkable that ‘Jakey’, trained on track and stabled across the road with Joe Pride, is one of those athletes, albeit of the equine kind, who thrives on his home ground. 

He won on debut at Warwick Farm way back in February of 2023 and the love affair hasn’t ended, Cool Jakey has now won 4 from 4 at ‘The Farm’ and there’s plenty more wins in store for your son of Pierro.

BOUNCE BACK FACTOR 

As Tycoons were made aware of, there’s a theory in racing that when a horse suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, “you must back it next start” and they win. 

And that was certainly the message after Cool Jakey suffered cardiac arrhythmia the previous start at Randwick, with Joe Pride telling Tycoons in the pre-race late mail, “Don’t worry about what happened last start, the horse is fine and he looks great,” how right Joe was with Cool Jakey leading all the way.

HIPPO FROM BARRIER TO BOX

Adam Hyeronimus was having his first sit on Cool Jakey and he rode him a treat. We joked before the race “just go to the front and improve your position” and that’s exactly what he did. 

“He jumped well and found a nice rhythm straight away, he had a nice time so I let him slide early into it at the 600metres so we did go a bit early. 

“He felt fantastic throughout the run and was doing it easily, so I did get a bit of a surprise how quickly he stopped. 

“So maybe I did go too early, but in saying that, maybe seven furlongs is his upper limit. On that effort he’ll be winning again” Jockey Adam Hyeronimus said.

JOE DELIGHTED

“That was good guys” trainer Joe Pride said, with a big smile to a large contingent of NSW Tycoons on Cool Jakey returning to scale. 

“Look it was nice to see him win on a track that wasn’t bottomless wet, it opens up a lot more opportunities for him. 

“In saying that if there was a 1400m for him in a fortnight on a Good track I would probably be reluctant to start him. We need to nurse him through it and the next month – six weeks isn’t going to be easy because it’s carnival time.

WHATS NEXT – PACK YOUR BAGS

The Tycoons have been very patient with Cool Jakey and their patience has been rewarded. He is building a very nice career record which stands at only 13 starts for 5 wins and a minor placing and is now pushing the $200,000 in prize money. 

‘Jakey’ has initially pulled up well, but we all know that he is a delicate soul and has to be treated with kindness and Joe is reluctant to push him too hard too quickly. Which is fair enough. 

“We might even consider travelling him maybe to Melbourne or Brisbane for a wet track, we just need to look after him.

“He’s been a good horse for us, we will look after him and his best opportunities will come in the Winter,” Joe concluded. 

Congratulations to all NSW Tycoons and winning connections.

Go you good thing!
