IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER FOR TRL OWNERS…WELL YES IT DOES

Feb 24, 2023

Just when you thought it couldn’t get better for TRL owners after winning 3 from 3 the previous Saturday, Cool Jakey makes a winning debut for the NSW Tycoons on Wednesday to make it 4 wins from 4 for TRL owners. 

That’s now 26 winners from 16 runners at a strike rate of 25%. 

 

TRL UPCOMING RUNNERS : 

Team Captain: February 25 – Lord Reims Hcp Morphettville

The Big Goodbye: March 4 – Eagle Farm

Lethal Thoughts: March 11 – Wangaratta

Bellinger: March 11 – Morphettville

 

Good luck to all owners now let’s check out the major chances for your TRL Trainers this Saturday.

 

MAHER & EUSTACE CAN WIN THE DIAMOND

With the construction at Caulfield, this year’s Blue Diamond Stakes for 2yos will be staged at Sandown on Saturday. 

Steel City is yet to win a race but can break it’s maiden in spectacular fashion by winning the Diamond at $4.40. 

At Randwick, if you are patient, have something on Sonora for $4.80 who’s up in grade but has no weight. 

BET: Steel City – Each Way (Sandown Race 7))

BET: Steinem – Each Way (Sandown Race 6)

BET: Sonora – Each Way (Randwick Race 10)

 

MOODY MAGIC

The Moody stable looks set to continue its strong run with Shuffle Dancer and Chain Of Lightning strong chances at Caulfield. Happy to play.  

BET: Shuffle Dancer – Each Way (Sandown Race 2)

BET: Chain of Lightning – Each Way (Sandown Race 9)

 

GAI & ADRIAN GO FOR BLOOD

Sticking with the tenacious Alligator Blood to be winning the Futurity Stakes for Gai and Adrian. 

He may not be the best horse in the race but he’s the best 1400m in the Futurity. 

At Randwick, the stable can win with Ganbare at double-digit odds in Race 3.

BET: Alligator Blood – Each Way (Sandown Race 8)

BET: Ganbare – Each Way (Randwick Race 3)

 

REMEMBER JOE PRIDE

Joe Pride doesn’t have a horse for the Tycoons at the moment, but I’m tipping Think About It at Randwick. He’s a really progressive horse, who’s won his last 3 and can step up again. 

BET: Think About It – Win (Randwick Race 9)

 

RICHARD AND WILL WITH ANOTHER INTERSTATE RAID

They have mastered the art of the interstate raid and Eye Pea Oh will be extremely hard to beat when the Freedman’s take him to Doomben on Saturday for Race 3. 

This horse did some galloping with Luna Rocks and goes extremely well. 

BET: Eye Pea Oh – Each Way (Doomben Race 3)

 

BIGGER THAN NORMAL DAY FOR GOLLAN

Tony Gollan unleashes his Magic Millions winner Skirt The Law in the Sweet Embrace at Randwick on Saturday. 

She has since come out and looked sensational in a Doomben barrier trial and if successful will be hard to stop in the Golden Slipper.

BET: Skirt The Law  –  Win (Randwick Race 6)

BET: Tenzing – Each Way (Doomben Race 8)

 

EDMONDS TEAM SET TO REPEAT

Toby and Trent Edmonds did the right thing by us last week with The Vowels winning at $10. 

We are sticking with the stable on Saturday, with Corfe Castle in race 4. The booking of top hoop Jimmy Orman is crucial. 

BET: Corfe Castle – Each Way (Doomben Race 3)

 

O’DEA & HOYSTED TO STRIKE AT DOOMBEN

I understand the O’Dea/Hoysted yard has some good chances in the majors down south but I’m sticking with a couple of their runners at Doomben. 

Hold On Honey (Race 7) is a $5 chance who put together 3 straight wins before a third placing last start and can return to the winner’s stall. 

Rathlin is a dual acceptor Race 5 or Race 9 and will be hard to beat whichever assignment the stable chooses. 

BET: Hold On Honey – Each Way (Doomben Race 7)

BET: Rathlin – Each Way (Doomben Race 5 or Race 9)

 

Good luck and good punting!

IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER FOR TRL OWNERS…WELL YES IT DOES

Feb 24, 2023

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!
