A busy week for owners in TRL

Mar 28, 2022

It is shaping up to be a busy week for owners in The Racing League, with trials and races galore for all three states! 

First up is Lethal Thoughts having a jump out at Avoca on Tuesday March 29 for the VIC Husslers and Ciaron Maher Racing. Owners have waited a long time to see this guy at the jump outs, and we all can’t wait to see what he brings tomorrow. Check out the latest update on him Dave Eustace below:

On Wednesday March 30, Sidenay heads back to the trials at Wyong for the NSW Tycoons and trainer Kim Waugh. He has been blackbooked by a few bookies leading into this next trial, so it will be great to see if he can produce a similar performance to his last trial before making his racing debut. Check out his impressive first trial below:

Unfortunately the wet weather in QLD has forced trials to be abandoned at Doomben on Tuesday and moved to Thursday on the dirt track at Eagle Farm, so only The Big Goodbye will be having a jump out there before heading to the trials the following week. Hot Spring Gold will skip the jump out on the dirt and wait for the next official grass trials, which are most likely the following week pending weather. 

It is the moment a lot of owners have been waiting for. Luna Rocks is ready to debut for the NSW Tycoons and trainer Richard Freedman will either head to the races at Newcastle on Friday March 31, or head to Muswellbrook on April 1 to kick her off. Both options are being looked at closely and we cannot wait to see how she goes. 

Last but certainly not least, the war horse for the Husslers in Bellinger returns to the races on Saturday April 1 at Bendigo. He is up in grade however after his confident last start win Lindsay Park feels he is definitely capable of mixing it with these horses and being competitive. Bring it on! Check out the latest update on Bellinger below:

A busy week for owners in TRL

Mar 28, 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!
