WINNERS KEEP COMING FOR TRL OWNERS

Jul 29, 2022

It’s hard to explain “ownership” you just have to feel it and we are pleased to report owners within The Racing League certainly have that winning feeling.

Across the three teams, TRL has now had 12 runners to the track for a total of 13 wins, that’s a remarkable strike rate.

Your trainers are doing a great job and while there’s no TRL runners this weekend, let’s check out the major chances from your trainers this Saturday.
.
GAI & ADRIAN ARE FREQUENT FLYERS

The Waterhouse/Bott stable are delighted with the condition of Blue Thorpedo on her arrival back into the yard. She’s strengthened beautifully and looks set for a big preparation. Fingers crossed.

Tomorrow at Rosehill, Twilight Affair (Race 5) is a promising mare coming off an excellent trial win and has been well supported on Sportsbet $8.50 to $7.

Cross Talk (Race 8) was the best-backed runner on the program when winning last start and there’s no reason he won’t win again.

At Moonee Valley, the team has Invincible Jet (Race 9) as a bit of a mystery runner. Currently $9 this horse won first-up on this day last year and at the odds can do it again.

BET: Twilight Affair – Each Way (Rosehill Race 5)
BET: Cross Talk – Win (Rosehill Race 8)
BET: Invincible Jet – Each Way (MV Race 9)

PRIDE HAS PENSO A LEI SPOT ON

Master trainer Joe Pride reports that he is completely happy with Penso A Lei after her unlucky last start effort at Eagle Farm.

Wet tracks again, mean Penso won’t be running this weekend, but Joe will find a dry track, suitable distance, and is confident we’ll see the best of Penso.

At Rosehill tomorrow, Joe has two runners in the last race, Titanium Power $6 and Silent Agenda $19. I’m backing Titanium Power at $6 with Sportsbet but having a cheeky saver on Silent Agenda at the big odds of $19.

BET: Titanium Power – Each Way (Rosehill Race 10)
BET: Silent Agenda – Saver

ARAMIS ONE TO WATCH FOR NEWNHAM

Always have confidence in Mark Newnham trained horses and Aramis (Race 7) fits the bill in the last at Rosehill Gardens.

Aramis is $7.50 with Sportsbet and has won his last two starts and can win again. He’s had 5 starts on a Heavy for 4 wins…outstanding record.

BET: Aramis – Each Way (Rosehill Race 7)

MOODY IN A PURPLE PATCH

Followers of the Pete Moody stable have been collecting more often than not lately.

At Moonee Valley tomorrow he has two good chances at attractive odds.

She’s Amore (Race 3) looks to be a really promising filly. A $200,000 purchase she heads to the Valley off a powerful trial win.

Rusutsu (Race 6) is $10 with Sportsbet, this 5yo mare has been improving with every run this preparation and can win.

BET: She’s Amore – Win (MV Race 3)
BET: Rusutsu – Each Way (MV Race 6)

MICK PRICE & MICK KENT CONTINUE TO BUILD

Watching replays from Flemington there was a horse called Tavidance (Race 8) that caught the eye as a “back me next time” horse.

The booking of Jamie Kah is a strong lead for Tavidance who was strong last start and looks ready to win.

BET: Tavidance – Each Way (MV Race 8)

MAHER TWO PRONGED ATTACK

Not long now before Lethal Thoughts barrier trials for the Vic Husslers team with Dave Eustace more than happy with his progress.

The stable’s best chances at odds tomorrow in my opinion Easy Single (Race 9) at Rosehill. It’s having a good prep, won first-up, and hasn’t missed a place this prep.

Moonee Valley – King’s Charisma (Race 5) is at the juicy odds of $11, has had two warm-up runs and possesses a touch of class. Happy to be on its back.

BET: Easy Single – Each Way (Rosehill Race 9)
BET: King’s Charisma – Each Way (MV Race 5)

HEATHCOTE TO KEEP THE ROLL GOING

Sure he’s had a small end of season freshen up but the Rob Heathcote machine rolls on at Eagle Farm tomorrow.

Rayjen $3.30 with Sportsbet is coming off a win, she makes her own luck up front and should go back to back.

Billionair Baby $3.30 is tight in the market but did look good winning its maiden last start at Doomben and top jockey James Orman is on board.

BET: Rayjen – Win (EF Race 1)
BET: Billionair Baby – Win (EF Race 3)

O’DEA/HOYSTED COULD HAVE ANOTHER GOOD ONE

Apart from Helluva Barty who the O’Dea/Hoysted team is above average, the stable maybe has unearthed another great prospect in Huss On First (Race 5).

It was hard not to be impressed with this fillies maiden win and it only has to repeat that performance to win again.

BET: Huss On First – Win (EF Race 5)

MUNCE SHORT BUT PRETTY GOOD

Race 6 at Eagle Farm looks to be a two horse war of differing styles. Delyth trained by Chris Munce will take a forward position and shoot for home with 200 metres to go.

While Go Wandji will get back to near last and be rattling home. While it may look spectacular, give me the horse up front with some clear air.

BET: Delyth – Win (EF Race 6)

Good luck and good punting.

WINNERS KEEP COMING FOR TRL OWNERS

Jul 29, 2022

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!
