HAPPY NEW YEAR TRL OWNERS

Jan 6, 2023

Welcome TRL Owners to 2023

We trust everyone had a great Christmas/New Year full of winners. 

This Saturday, TRL was due to have two runners Helluva Barty and Bellinger. 

However, Helluva Barty, unfortunately, came up with barrier 19 for the Magic Millions Maiden on the Gold Coast with trainers Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted thinking it would not be a great experience for the horse and have scratched in preference for Doomben on Wednesday. 

The Vic Husslers warhorse Bellinger goes to battle at Sandown while the NSW Tycoons have The Sherpa slotted to return at Ballina next Friday. 

 

UPCOMING RUNNERS: 

  • Bellinger, January 7 – Sandown
  • Helluva Barty, January 11 – Doomben
  • The Sherpa, January 12 – Gunnedah or January 13 – Ballina 
  • Cool Jakey, January 16 – Barrier Trial Warwick Farm
  • The Big Goodbye, January 21 – Doomben 

 

Good luck to all Owners and now let’s check out the major chances of your TRL Trainers this Saturday.

 

THE HAYES CAMP TO RING THE “BELL”

“Bellinger’s work on Tuesday was an impressive piece of work, he’s on the fresh side just like last start where he ran so well”, Ben Hayes said. 

Bellinger is an $11 chance on Saturday at Sandown, he’s in great order and just needs a little bit of luck from barrier 10 with Michael Dee to ride. 

BET: Bellinger  – Each Way (Sandown R.6)

BET: Independent Road – Each Way (Sandown R.7)

 

HELLUVA BARTY CHANGE OF PLANS

As you could tell from his Deagon barrier trial win, Helluva Barty is a horse with tremendous promise and with an eye on the future a decision was made to scratch him from this Saturdays  Magic Millions Maiden on the Gold Coast in preference for Doomben on Wednesday. 

While it’s disappointing to miss such a lucrative race, trainers Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted believe it’s in the best interest of the horse and the owners to look after him, give him a good experience first-up and take him through his grades. 

There is plenty of upside with Helluva Barty and he’ll be hard to beat at Doomben on Wednesday. 

BET: Helluva Barty – Each Way (Doomben – Wednesday)

 

WATERHOUSE/BOTT ON THE COAST

Like most trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott have been on the Gold Coast inspecting yearlings in preparation for the Magic Millions Sale. 

The world’s best jockey (James McDonald) is also on the Goldie and combines with Tulloch Lodge on Just Glamorous (Race 3) who’s a promising 2yo filly who hit the line extremely well last start. 

At Rosehill, Vreneli (Race 6) is the horse to beat, winning last start and has a very good third-up record. While Star Sparks (Race 8) has already been well supported. 

BET: Just Glamorous – Each Way – (Gold Coast R.3)

BET: Vreneli – Each Way (Rosehill R.3)

BET: Star Sparks – Each Way (Rosehill R.8)

 

WAUGH ENJOYS THE FESTIVE SEASON

The purple patch of winners looks set to continue for trainer Kim Waugh. 

True Crime (Race 3) is resuming, has been well supported in early markets and is very good fresh.

BET: True Crime – Each Way (Rosehill R.3)

 

CIARON MAHER MACHINE ROLLS ON

The Maher/Eustace stable is sure to be one of the biggest purchasers next week at the Magic Millions Sale, if not the biggest!

At Rosehill they have two great chances, one at big odds. 

Semena (Race 2) is a progressive 3yo filly only beaten by the stablemate last start. 

While Whatafox (Race 5) at $16 already in from $20 is well and truly over the odds. 

BET: Semena – Each Way (Rosehill R.2)

BET: Whatafox – Each Way (Rosehill R.5)

 

PRICE IS ALL SASSED UP

Let’s get off to a great start at Sandown with the Mick Price/Michael Kent Jnr trained All Sassed Up (Race 1). 

A nice 3yo filly, who looked great in winning a jump out and Jamie Kah rides. 

BET: All Sassed Up – Each Way (Sandown R.1)

 

MOODY ON FIRE

No one enjoys the party season quite like Peter Moody and the stable has been firing on all cylinders over the festive break. 

Liberated Girl (Race 4) looks to be his best at Sandown, she’s tight in the market but is now third-up and just has to run a strong 1600m. 

BET: Liberated Girl –  Win (Sandown R.4)

 

FREEDMANS ON A WINNING ROLL 

With 7 winners from their last 19 starters the Richard and Will Freedman stable is in rare territory. 

I’m sticking with On The Lead (Race 5) at Sandown. It’s a $13 chance and I reckon it’s been racing with no luck. 

BET: On The Lead – Each Way (Sandown R.5) 

 

GOLLAN BELIEVES LATAKIA WILL BOUNCE 

Latakia won brilliantly first-up and was disappointing last time out at Eagle Farm. 

She’s a talented 3yo filly that can bounce back. 

BET: LATAKIA- Each Way (Gold Coast R.6)

 

Good luck and good punting!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TRL OWNERS

Welcome TRL Owners to 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!
