Did it easy

WATC Derby next Saturday looks to be Balmont Girl's next assignment

Didn't look comfortable in running, ran 4th. Off to the paddock.

Didn't have much luck in the Derby. Did very well this campaign, first go over distance!

..luckygray back in work in perth

Staying home or heading east ?

..home initially..1000m trial at belmont early next month

A hat-trick already today, go Pikey!

Almost did it again yesterday. 2 winners & 2nd

Same again today

..worth a look next couple of starts

..ascot..sat 26/4
max almighty impeded for a clear run on straightening until the 225m..got home well once clear

..belmont..sat 3/5
full steam ahead raced wide from the 600m..lay inwards in the straight..got to the line strongly..just beaten

..worth a look next couple of starts

..belmont..sat 10/5
peck raced wide from the 500m..still got home strong final stages
top show commenced awkwardly & slow into stride..raced wide for the majority of the event..finished strongly..runner-up

..worth a look next couple of starts

..belmont..sat 10/5
i'm a flash unit steadied shortly after the start..lay inwards over the final 200m..bumped with another runner at the 75m..still finished off well
tower of lonhro blocked for clear running from on straightening & steadied outwards to avoid the heels of a tiring runner at the 200m..lay inwards in the straight..finished off strongly for good win
fashion princess blocked from on straightening until taken inwards at the 200m..strong to the line..runner-up

Looked in fine fettle on Saturday. Bumped & buffeted over the concluding stages, only beaten neck.

Yeah, watched the race, unlucky. Ridden up on the pace as well.

Good news, Barakey is back in work

Yeah great news Hat, but what's happened to our mate Smoko?

Been missing a while, maybe there's been a problem

Hope not, potentially a class horse

Back in the stable and doing early work

Just going along patiently I'm guessing

Cheers Hat

Any news Barakey's future program ? Going east ?

I think they're taking it one race at a time, at this point. The Listed Goodwood Sprint (1300m) at Belmont Park in August, will be the initial target.

Barakey is listed to trial on Monday at Belmont Park

Ok, thanks kumite, wait & see the result

Barakey & Smoko both nominated for the Beaufine Stakes

Beaufine Stakes later today, Barakey absent, Smoko present

no luck Smoko, gallant in defeat

Barakey ripped off part of the wall from his near-side front hoof in his last barrier trial. Recovering ok now.

Thanks Hat, that explains Barakey's absence

..better luck today..hopefully

smoko
 

meeting was abandoned but won a trial since

..going around later today at belmont

Smoko back to his best!

Big test not too far off! (Perth R5)

Not disgraced !

Far from disgraced kiwiz. Top training effort Jim Taylor to get Barakey back & winning!

Paid very well, considering
