Another big week for TRL owners

May 6, 2022

It’s been another massive week for our TRL owners with the The Big Goodbye going within centimeters of causing a boilover at Eagle Farm. 

The Queensland Rogues will be cheering again this weekend when Hot  Spring Gold steps out for the first time in their colors at Ipswich on Saturday or the Sunshine Coast on Sunday.

While the New South Wales Tycoons have the mighty Sherpa racing at Muswellbrook on Monday.

Time to find some winners from our TRL trainers.

 

MUNCE TO STRIKE GOLD  WITH HOT SPRING

There are plenty of good judges that believe Hot Spring Gold could be the best of TRLs tried horses.

He is a Randwick Saturday Sydney winner which is pretty impressive and that form should hold up whether Chris take him to Ipswich on Saturday or the Sunshine Coast on Sunday.

The big problem is we don’t want a heavy track. 

BET: Hot Spring Gold – Each Way 

 

GOSFORD TO STANDALONE

Gosford gets its big chance to host a standalone meeting this Saturday but still its on a Heavy track. 

As always the Waterhouse/Bott stable will be extremely hard to beat with Gosford favouring runners on speed. 

Resonator (Race 1)is a $3.20 chance at Sportsbet. It’s had two starts for one win on a heavy track and I’m happy to stick. 

Military Mission (Race 5) has to overcome a horror draw barrier 12 but looked great winning two starts back at Canterbury over 2000m and has been well supported at Sportsbet $6 to $4.20.

BET: Resonator – Win (Gosford Race 1)

BET: Military Mission – Each Way (Gosford Race 5)

 

PRIDE WILL BE TOUGH TO BEAT

NSW Tycoons trainer Joe Pride has two outstanding chances at the Gosford meeting.  

Dehorned Unicorn (Race 4) Won its first to start last prep is first up here and has been well supported in the Sportsbet only markets $3.60.

You have to be patient but Joe’s are the big chance comes in race 10 Cole Crusher who’s rated $6 with sports bed has won both starts this prep any 3 from 3 on a heavy track he can make it for from four. 

BET: Dehorned Unicorn – Win (Gosford Race 4)

BET: Coal Crusher – Each Way (Gosford Race 10)

 

CAV IS FEELING BLUE

Trainer Brett Cavanagh has entered The Sherpa at Muswellbrook on Monday but he’ll be concentrating on a horse called Sungblue $6 with Sportsbet at Gosford on Saturday.

Sungblue, $6.50 finished a good third last start at Tamworth behind the dramatist that looks like good form for this race. 

BET: Sungblue – Each Way (Gosford Race 2)

 

PRICE & KENT TO THE FORE

We’d like to wish Vic Husslers combo of Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr all the best with Aryton against the mighty Zaaki in the Hollindale Cup on the Gold Coast.

The duo has the very talented Our Playboy $4 80 at Gosford (Race 9). Last time out beat all except Mr Mozart who came out and blew them away last Saturday at Hawkesbury. 

The boys should get off to a flyer at Caulfield with Maximillius, $2 70 on Sportsbet. He may have been unplaced at his only start, but reports have him as a promising type. 

BET: Maximillius – Win (Caulfield Race 1)

BET: Our Playboy – Each Way (Gosford Race 9)

 

MOODY HAS A PRINCE

Peter Moody looks like he has a promising filly in Princess Rhaenys Race 2 at Caulfield it is short in the market at $3.90 but has form around good horses like Hungry Heart. 

Dance To Dubai (Race 3) is $6 with Sportsbet. Moody has elected to take a 2-kilo claim, she is first up and has never finished worse and second when fresh. 

BET: Princess Rhaenys – Each Way (Caulfield Race 2)

BET: Dance to Dubai – Each Way (Caulfield Race 3)

 

MAHER/EUSTACE ALWAYS PAY TO FOLLOW

Ciaron Maher may be feeling a little worse for wear after a week at the famous Warrnambool Jumps Carnival.

But it won’t stop him celebrating at Caulfield with Blaze A Trail (Race 6) which should go close to winning. Blaze A Trail won first-up last prep so watch for market moves. 

Elzamee (Race 8) is back significantly in grade from contesting the Australian Derby last start and should relish the lesser opposition. 

BET: Blaze A Trail Each Way (Caulfield Race 6)

BET: Elzamee Each Way (Caulfield Race 8)

 

GOLLAN LOVES LYRICAL GIRL

Our micro-ownership cousins miRunners have the very talented Lyrical Girl in Race 2 at the Gold Coast. Barrier 2 is ideal and while she was disappointing last start this is an easier assignment. 

Nettuno (Race 4) $2.00 with Sportsbet is a super talented colt that has won 2 from 2 including a win against our very own Greylander at the Sunny Coast. Stick with Nettuno. 

BET: Lyrical Girl – Each Way (Gold Coast Race 2)

BET: Nettuno – Win (Gold Coast Race 4)

 

O’DEA IS SHOOTING FOR GOLD

The Hoysted-O’Dea stable could easily walk away from the Gold Coast with a double. 

Canadian Dancer (Race 6) has won his last two starts and while the stable also has Secret Tales in the race, I’m banking on the booking of Ben Thompson to be the difference.

There’s no fancy odds about Shooting for Gold (Race 9) it’s tight in the market with Sportsbet being backed in from $3.60 to $2.60 but he was really good as a runner-up last start in a listed race. 

BET:Canadian Dancer – Each Way (Gold Coast Race 6)

BET: Shooting For Gold – Win (Gold Coast Race 9)

 

Good luck and good punting.

Another big week for TRL owners

May 6, 2022

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!
