Why Joe Pride just keeps on winning

Dec 23, 2021

Joe Pride, unquestionably one of the most respected horsemen in Australian racing, seems to have an uncanny knack of unlocking the best in his horses. It is the privilege of not many to own a horse in this camp.

With a deeply ingrained belief that happy horses make the best race horses, perhaps this talks to Joe’s secret sauce. It also may talk to where he is headed with Penso A Lei, a lightly raced daughter of So You Think that Joe trains for thousands of owners in The Racing League.

After a luckless run two weeks ago at Warwick Farm, trainer Joe Pride thinks that Penso A Lei is now ready to win. Her trainer has quite the opinion of this filly, and thinks Penny can prove that on the track in her next start which is why he is targeting The Mayor’s Cup at Gosford over 1900m on New Years eve. 

As a daughter of So You Think, Penso A Lei is likely suited to distances from a mile upward. This will be Penso A Lei’s 4th run of this preparation after she kicked off her campaign over 1200m at Wyong, finishing a gallant 4th over the unsuitable distance. She then stepped out to 1400m where she again finished off strong, before her frustratingly luckless run over the mile last start at Warwick Farm.

This is why we love trainers like Joe Pride being involved in TRL, he is so focussed on giving Penso A Lei every possible chance at getting the win. We thank Joe and his team for putting so much time into finding her the right race, and hopefully it will pay dividends for owners!

Why Joe Pride just keeps on winning

Dec 23, 2021

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!
