Owners in The Racing League can strap themselves in for a weekend of thrills with 3 runners across 2 states this weekend.

It all kicks off with Larrikin Rogue launching into Day 1 of the Scone Cup Carnival as he races in the Widden Stud Handicap (Race 9).

Trainer Chris Anderson couldn’t rave about this horse anymore after his last race where he showed an impressive run despite drawing Barrier 10.

He’s traveled down to Scone in ‘good order’ and we look forward to what he produces tomorrow for the QLD Rogues.

But the fun doesn’t stop there!

Lethal Thoughts will be going for back-to-back wins when he races at Flemington on Saturday in the VRC Member Cameron Ryan Plate (Race 5).

He’s drawn barrier 1 and is already the hot favourite. Plus, with Blake Shinn aboard the Ciaron Maher Stable thinks he’s a winning chance.

In case that isn’t enough excitement for you, Luna Rocks brings a close to our runners in the Scone Cup Carnival on Saturday in the Denise’s Joy Stakes (Race 7).

This is the race that trainers Richard and Will Freedman have had their eyes on for Luna but some rain certainly would’ve put her in a more favourable position.

There is no doubt she’ll put up a fight in this race and owners in the NSW Tycoons will be cheering her home.

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!
