IT’S ONE HELLUVA BARTY PARTY!

Helluva Barty Wins at Doomben on 28th October 2023

“It’s a Barty Party” sky racing commentator Josh Fleming couldn’t have summed it up better. 

Your very talented galloper Helluva Barty came from last on the home corner to blow away the opposition in the most impressive display in Race 5 at Doomben on Saturday. 

Now it may have only been a BM 68, but keep in mind that Helluva Barty was only first-up and there’s a stack of improvement to come according to trainer Steve O’Dea who was on track to witness the demolition.

FASTEST FINAL 600M OF THE DAY

‘Helluva’ recorded the fastest final 600m of the day at Doomben, stopping the clock at 33.57 seconds – you’ve got to be happy with that.

“It was good wasn’t it. As I mentioned pre-race we just had to forget about last preparation where he simply never came up in those two starts. 

“We knew he was much better than that and he showed that today, it looks like a really exciting horse for the ownership group,” O’Dea said.

While some Qld Rogues may have been worried about being last on the corner, jockey Justin Huxtable was always comfortable.

SUPREME CONFIDENCE IN HIM

“Extremely wrapped, very very impressive and dominant win.

“Even though we were a little bit off them, I was always confident. 

“I think he is going to take great benefit out of today and really go on with it from here” Justin Huxtable

A MILLION DOLLAR PARTY?

Helluva Barty had a “good blow” after the race but the early signs are that he pulled up well. 

Steve will map out his next start and let everyone know, a possible goal could be the $1 million Syndicate on Magic Millions Day which is over 1100m – Now that would be fun! 

Go you good thing!

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!
