TRL purchases 3 new horses at the 2023 inglis melbourne premier sale

It’s always nice in the racing game when you are pleasantly surprised and that’s the tale of Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale for owners in The Racing League. 

TRL’s Head of Bloodstock Mick Malone traveled to Melbourne to search for some diamonds among the hundreds of yearlings on offer at Inglis Premier Sale and as fate would have it, Mick fell in love with a few yearlings and amazingly walked away with three in partnership with TRL trainers that left him a very contented man. 

Two will go to the NSW Tycoons team, Lot 3 a Zoustar x Oklahoma Girl colt which was purchased in partnership with Richard and Will Freedman. 

Zoustar was the champion first, second, and third season sire and now stands for a service fee of $198,000 to have secured this precocious son of Zoustar in the stable at $220,000 was great buying.

Next up for the Tycoons, Mick, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott all agreed on Lot 296 a Pierata filly that was snapped up for $140,000 from the famous Segenhoe Farm. 

Gai and Adrian know this family extremely well. The stable trained the three-quarter brother Bellevue Hill who was a serious 2yo contender, running second in the Todman behind Yes Yes Yes with Dubious third.

Segenhoe Stud manager told TRL “she is a real princess”.

The QLD Rogues didn’t miss out, Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted have had tremendous success with the progeny of Rubick and teamed up with TRL to purchase Lot 190 a Rubick x Testy Sue colt for $190,000 which was right on budget.

All three horses have now been transported to Emeran Park and will be broken in by Shannon Betts and her team. 

 

More Runners, More Winners and More Thrills.

TRL purchases 3 new horses at the 2023 inglis melbourne premier sale

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!
