As Randwick continues to recover from the massive of racing held over the weekend with quite a large crowd coming out to enjoy quality action on a sunny Spring day to watch Yes Yes Yes take on the older runners and conquered the Everest.
Now the attention turns to a new week and for us, this includes John working the horses that are heading South to represent over the Melbourne Spring Carnival. Cox Plate this weekend will see the racing action come to us from Moonee Valley and Team Sarge will have two runners on the day, both of which worked this morning in front of John putting in a nice piece of work.
Exciting Bullpoint 2 year old ENCOUNTABULL worked over the 1800m on the Kensington track in reverse way of going to get ready for his race debut in the Inglis Banner over the 1000m for $500,000 in prize money. Top jockey James McDonald who has ridden the young colt in work has been quite impressed with him and will take the ride in Melbourne.
Last start winner at Warwick Farm ASPECT RATIO also stepped out this morning and was worked the Melbourne way of going over the 1800m on her own and also impressed, showing that she is fit and well ahead of her run this coming Saturday. She will line up in the Group 2 Antler Luggage Fillies Classic over the mile with James McDonald also in the saddle.
FOXBOROUGH galloped over 1200m in the reverse direction (Melbourne way) on the Kensington track with fellow stable mate BRANDENBURG. Foxborough will head down to Melbourne next week as she will line up in the Wakeful Stakes on Saturday 2nd November with Michael Walker in the saddle as she then will look to the Kennedy Oaks on November 7th.
Brandenburg who ran a every eye catching second in the Stan Fox Stakes behind Colada is joining Foxborough on the float heading down next week to line up in the Carbine Club Stakes and will be ridden by Dwayne Dunn, looking to continue the colt’s collecting of prize cheques.
As the final preparations are made by John to ensure that the horses going down in the best possible condition we wish all connections associated with all runners the very best (some of which are first time owners!)
