Enough Rain Already!

After more rain interruptions, we will be loading back up with runners at the races in the near future .

Last time out Seriously Ready struck all sorts of trouble before running down the track at Ipswich on a slow track. He sprung a plate on the way to the barrier that day and it wasn’t reset properly. On top of that, he was pricked on the hoof which subsequently required some attention. But he is back at the races again this Friday and with any sort of luck we are hoping to see a return to his earlier form. He is nominated for a 1666 metre Class 1 at Ipswich on Friday with Larry Cassidy to ride.

Norse Horse has entered the stable and is really progressing well. He trialled earlier today at Doomben and wasn’t asked to do much. The hit out will bring him forward and we will assess his next move in the wash up.

I’m A Smarty Pants is dual nominated this week for her return to the racetrack. She is 3rd emergency on Wednesday at Eagle Farm in a 1300 metre Class 3 but more likely she will be heading to Toowoomba night races on the Cushion Track on Saturday over 1200 metres. We can certainly report however that she has come back nicely.

Twoeezy is another staying type who recently entered the stable and although he is not likely to head to the races in the very near future, he is coming along nicely.

Sir Slipper is also heading to Ipswich on Friday to contest a 1350 metre maiden and will have the services of Larry Cassidy. Also entered for Ipswich on Friday in a 1350 metre maiden is Rob The Vault – fingers crossed that she gets a run.

Platinum Touch had a lovely grass jump out last Tuesday and he is scheduled to head to the Gold Coast on Saturday where he will contest a 1300 metre race with Tegan Harrison to ride.

Lucky Sound, Power Boss and Koitaki have all returned to work and are coming along well at this early stage while Bon Marche has been recently retired. Also spelling is the Nothing To Lose Gelding who will be named very shortly and should be back in work soon thereafter.

In closing news, Great Leap Forward and Lovely Dark are still spelling while both El Retazo and Dana Prince are at the pre-trainers and will return to the stable in the coming week or so.

Good luck to all of our connections as our horses head back to the races in the coming week. And here’s hoping we can get some decent dry surfaces for them to race on.
