Thoroughbred racing

I've wondered that myself before, easy. The old superstition was that once they get a root they're no longer interested in racing. I think that's all it is. Found this article about a bloke in the US successfully combining stud duties and racing with a harness racing stallion:

http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/double-duty-impossible-for-stallions-think-twice-shared-archive/

Father Patrick’s experiment begs the question of whether anything other than tradition keeps Thoroughbred stallions from performing double duty.

“That’s a really good question. I’ve never been asked the question why the Thoroughbred industry doesn’t do more of that,” said Donato Lanni, director of bloodstock services for Hill ‘n’ Dale in Lexington. “I think it comes down to economics, like it always does in the Thoroughbred industry. Is it worth putting your stallion in danger of getting injured?”
 
Our Denmagic returns at Hawkesbury on Saturday for her last campaign which will likely include the Brisbane Carnival.

She has to be the best Class 2 horse going around. Ran third in the Myer Gp1 on Derby Day in 2016 which was a great thrill.

Will be off to the MM Broodmare sale in June.

Look out 2nd up at Scone in a fortnight. Doubt she beats Dal Cielo on Saturday who beat her in a BM93 sprint last year but that horse has been known to stay stuck in the gate just like a famous grey.

Love Shack Baby will run on Wagga Town Plate day.

One of my Waikato fillies is in at Bendigo today, Queen Leonora (race 3)- drawn beautifully and should run very well. Main danger is Cincinatti Red. Be very disappointed if she misses a place.

Be Instant (another one of the fillies) ran 2nd at Ballarat Sunday, opened $23 on Sportsbet and started $4.20 - just couldn't catch the leader in the last 200m. Backed her each way at $13.

Im Buxom probably go around at Caulfield Saturday.

Go Tigers

well done 44. :fing32
 
Thanks ET - after the Be Instant episode on Sunday I backed her as soon as markets opened $7.5 boosted to $8.5 with Sportsbet Powerplay. Copped a bit in deductions but still ended up with about $6 - better than the $2.90 or thereabouts she paid on the billy goat. Good strong win - looked in trouble a couple of times in the straight but was going away from them at the end. Might be fairly handy over a little bit of ground. Not too sure where to from here - maybe SA Oaks but also may be too early for her.

Now for the important win of the day - go Tigers!

I saw the fluctuation from $7.50 to $3.0 and hoped it was your money.

Fellow Tiger in a bit of trouble in Hong Kong. Might just want to get back to watch the Tiges.

Latest update from my very small share stable of horses.

The Ceremony to go around in race 5 at Benalla tomorrow. Hopefully the track dries out a little (was a soft rating this morning). At her first race she copped a face full of dirt throwback from a shifting surface and only jogged around behind them. Is much better than that and does strike a really weak maiden tomorrow. Trying to make a case for her but would still wait to see her produce before jumping in - having said that will have a $ each way as she does have ability.

I'm Buxom in the first at Caulfield Saturday - was a bit worried when she drew 10 of 11 but the horse in 11 scratched (along with the topweight) so she now has the outside barrier 9 in a field of 9.(Again!!!) Will wear blinkers first time as last couple hasn't finished off as expected and is a good each way chance. Hopefully can slot into third and take a sit. Has been $12 into $6 at TAB fixed - with scratchings explaining most of that fluctuation.

Mossbelle to hopefully get a run at Sale Monday - if draws a good barrier will be a good each way chance and should be decent odds again. Deserves a win - is very honest and always tries her best.

Go Tigers

Dear Bernie & Louise,
Denmagic (Denman/Magic Zefta)
Tomorrow, Denmagic will head to Hawkesbury for the Listed Hawkesbury XXXX Gold Rush over 1100m with Christian Reith in the saddle jumping from barrier 12 carrying 53kg. The track is currently rated a Good 4.
The race has attracted a field of 13 starters with our main dangers being Passage Of Time, Tango Rain and Spending To Win. Passage Of Time comes into the race first up after a 24 week spell with two trials under his belt. He's a proven horse first up, winning two from two when fresh and placed at Rosehill in his last go. He's drawn a tricky barrier which will make it hard for him to cross but will most likely sit midfield/off the pace. Our second danger Tango Rain, comes into the race off a 21-week spell and has been trialing well. Competitive horse being in the money most of his career and generally strong first up having placed at Randwick last attempt. Likely leader of the race however has drawn wide. Our third danger, Spending To Win comes into the race having won at Canterbury and placed in all other attempts this campaign. Drops 6.5kg for this run and won't be far away from the finish. Drawn a tricky barrier as well but will most likely sit midfield/off the pace.
I'm expecting Denmagic to run well. We haven't drawn ideally with barrier 12 but with plenty of speed in the race, we'll race towards the rear of the field away from the traffic. From the 600m, the speed will allow us to start and work into race where we'll look to jump on the back of one of the main dangers. Turning for home, we'll look to obtain a clear passage of running to allow us to swoop home late. She's only going to improve off this run going forward for her preparation. I won't be there tomorrow as l have a runner up in Queensland, but Sue my foreman and James will be there.

The Ceremony raced greenly but finished off nicely showing she would be better over more ground, fourth.
I’m Buxom raced forward after bombing the start but probably wouldn’t have beaten the winner regardless. Blinkers suited and she raced much better. Will probably run over 2000m at Caulfield on 12th May, second.
Moss belle got taken on early and worked hard and just pipped on the line, another good honest effort, second.

Not much luck among the three but that is racing. Tigers got the important victory on the weekend!
