THE ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS

Nov 17, 2021

Welcome to the roller coaster ride which is horse racing. 

We’ve probably been a bit spoiled with our early success in The Racing League. 

While we certainly set the bar high, TRL has had the most remarkable success with our first four runners to hit the track all winning across three different states for their loyal owners. 

But in this highly competitive racing game winning is certainly never guaranteed as owners in the Qld Rogues and Vic Husslers found out on the weekend. 

On Saturday at Doomben, The Big Goodbye was looking for back to back wins but had to settle for a gallant third after he was stopped in his tracks twice with trainer Rob Heathcote claiming jockey error. 

On Sunday at Donald Cup Day, Bellinger for the Vic Husslers was also a victim of an ordinary ride with trainer Ben Hayes less than impressed with senior jockey Dean Yendell. 

Still both horses have pulled up well with The Big Goodbye now being aimed at either the Gold Coast (Nov 27) with Taylor Marshall probably taking the ride from apprentice Leah Kilner. 

While the Hayes camp reports Bellinger has pulled up well and may well step up in distance to 1300 metres at Geelong (Dec 1). 

The NSW Tycoons were actually allowed on track at Wyong to witness the first start of Penso A Lei for their team. Trainer Joe Pride delighted with her first-up fourth over an unsuitable 1200m and she’ll now go to 1400m in a fortnight before stepping up to a mile and beyond. 

Keep an eye out for the debut of Hot Spring Gold for the Qld Rogues at Doomben next Wednesday (Nov 24). Trainer Chris Munce is happy with the way he has progressed since arriving in the stable. 

The roller coaster of ownership never ends!

THE ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS

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!
