SPORT EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK

It’s a sports lovers dream this weekend, the AFL Grand Final, Preliminary Finals for the NRL, the Group 1 Golden Rose at Rosehill Gardens and to top it all off more Group 1 glory on the line at Sandown with the Group 1 Underwood Stakes. 

Bellinger started his campaign on an unsuitable Heavy 10 track at Benalla on Friday and showed he’s in for a big preparation with a gallant second. While Helluva Barty debuts for the Qld Rogues on Wednesday. 

Time to check out the major chances from your other TRL trainers this Saturday. 

. 

MOODY IN FOR A DAY TO REMEMBER? 

First-up how good was it to see The Big Freeze trial above expectations earlier this week for Pete Moody and the Vic Husslers. 

On Sunday at Sandown, Moods could be in for a massive day. 

Madrean (Race 1) should be undefeated in her two starts, and was an easy winner at Cranbourne, one to watch.

Pounding (Race 3) $7 which seems generous considering its great win last start, Pounding has won on soft ground.

Waltz On By (Race 6) $4.60 won easily last start at Sandown is a nice Vinnie filly going places. 

I Wish I Win (Race 9) $2 won’t get rich backing this, but seeing is believing and was the favourite for the Rupert Clarke but didn’t get a run. 

BET: Madrean – Each Way (Sandown Race 1)

BET: Pounding- Each Way (Sandown Race 3)

BET: Waltz On By – Each Way (Sandown Race 6)

BET: I Wish I Win – Win  (Sandown Race 9)

 

HAYES BOYS TO KEEP THE ROLL GOING

Lindsay Park was delighted with the way Bellinger performed and pulled up from his first-up effort on an unsuitable Heavy track at Benalla. 

On Sunday the stable’s two best chances appear to be: 

Sandy Prince (Race 2) is $6 in a wide-open race, he did win last start is at peak fitness and has Ollie in the saddle. 

Gentleman Roy (Race 8) is a $5 chance and was given no rest in the lead last start and did an enormous job to hang on for second. 

BET: Sandy Prince – Each Way (Sandown Race 2)

BET: Gentleman Roy  – Each Way (Sandown Race 8)

 

BUSUTTIN WITH A GLINT IN HIS EYE

Glint of Hope is a horse I reckon you can follow with some confidence. 

He looks well placed at Sandown in Race 5, is well drawn and should get the gun run and be too strong. 

BET:  Glint of Hope – Each Way (Sandown Race 5)

 

PRICE IS THUNDERSTRUCK 

I’m Thunderstruck is one tough customer, his win last start was all class and he’ll have to improve again taking on Zaaki in the Underwood. 

Tight in the market at $2.90 the extra 200m, the long straight and the timing of Mick Price and Michael Kent Junior looks perfect. 

BET:  I’m Thunderstruck – Win (Sandown Race 7)

 

GOLDEN ROSE A CRACKING EDITION

A cracking edition of the Golden Rose with the Godolphin trained In Secret, a short priced favourite. 

NSW Tycoons owners can take a form line through her with Luna Rocks. At Scone in the Listed Woodlands Luna Rocks missed the kick and finished 5th to In Secret. 

While she’s good, I’m sticking with the Mick Price trained Jacquinot, who’s trained by MIck Price and did the right thing by us last start. He’s been $9 into $7.

BET: Jacquinot – Each Way (Rosehill Race 8)

 

CIARON’S BEST AND BEST EACH WAY

It’s never easy sorting through all of the Maher/Eustace runners but we’ve come up with their best and then their best each way chance. 

Cadre DuNoir (Race 4) is now short in the market at $2.15, he’s won his last two starts including his last on a Heavy 9. 

Narrated (Race 5) has been specked from $11 into $9. Reece Jones takes the 1.5kg claim, she has been freshened for this and 1400m suits. 

BET: Cadre DuNoir – Win (Rosehill Race 4)

BET: Narrated – Each Way (Rosehill Race 5)

 

MARK NEWNHAM – A HOT POT AND A FINE RED

Not too sure if a Spicy Hot Pot and A Very Fine Red go together, but trainer Mark Newnham is certainly hoping so. 

Spicy Hotpot (Race 6) is a 3yo filly resuming at the big odds of $20 with Sportsbet. She’s only had two starts and arguably should be undefeated. 

A Very Fine Red (Race 10) has been specked in Sportsbet markets from $10 to $8 had some good form around horses like Marzu and the trials have been very good. 

BET: Spicy Hotpot – Each Way (Rosehill Race 6)

BET: A Very Fine Red – Each Way (Rosehill Race 10)

 

HEATHCOTE ALL SMILES

The Big Goodbye has started pre-training for Rob Heathcote and that will only stretch his smile a little wider. 

On Saturday, Rob has his favourite girl Startantes (Race 7) as a $7 chance. She’s a Group 1 winning mare who gets through a Slow track and her second-up form is good. 

BET: Startantes  – Each Way (Rosehill Race 7)

 

SURF DANCER FOR GAI

It hasn’t been beach weather but Surf Dancer (Race 9) has been backed from $9 into $7 for Gai Waterhouse/Adrian Bott stable. Is the South Grafton Cup winner and the Soft track is no problem. 

BET: Surf Dancer – Each Way (Rosehill Race 9)

 

GOLLAN GOES BACK HOME 

Champion trainer Tony Gollan goes back to his old stomping ground in Toowoomba with a strong book. 

Self Indulgent (Race 1) is $1.70 is coming off a win and should win. 

Muschialli (Race 2) has firmed from $6 to $5 and has the inside draw and no excuses this time. 

Ulysses (Race 6) $4.50 was only average when returning but won second-up last preparation. 

Aussie Nugget (Race 7) , who is solid at $5.50 was back to winning form in the Heavy last start and can win again. 

BET: Self Indulgent – Win (Toowoomba Race 1)

BET: Muschialli – Each Way (Toowoomba Race 2)

BET: Ulysses – Each Way (Toowoomba Race 6)

BET: Aussie Nugget – Each Way (Toowoomba Race 7)

 

Good luck and good punting.

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!
