Woman and Leather'n' Lace


Leather'n' Lace -- Another super win, from this promising Street Cry filly at Bendigo on Thursday.The track was on the heavy side which could have exaggerated the ease of the win in the 1300m event but still keep an eye out for this girl in town.  The 12th foal of the Maroof mare Hard Rider who has produced three other stakes winners. Utah Saint ,Big Chill, and Hard Stride but this girl could be the best of them all.

Bel Esprit -- This evergreen stallion who sired the great, Black Caviar continues to produce many winners all over the continent and on Wednesday, at Mornington, there were two more . The first was the Cairon Maher trained, Smokin Bella in the 1200m event, she is out of the Galileo mare ,Gallant Lady. This was followed by the Weir, trained Labuan Star in the benchmark 84 over 1000m.

Levendi -- This was an impressive victory by the Pierro colt in the 1200m BM64 event. He didnt really appreciate the conditions but still won easily. Jockey , Ben Melham had heaps of praise for the Peter Gelgotis trained colt, after his easy win. The next start in the planning for him is the Guineas Prelude in a couple of weeks and then the ultimate goal the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas. Being out of the Redoutes Choice mare Lipari, I have a feeling he may improve even further on a dry track.

Exceed and Excel -- At Canterbury on Wednesday we saw a double for the breed with Coco Excel ridden by Blake Shinn scoring in the 1100m event while Piracy with Kerrin Mcevoy riding won the BM 77, later in the day. The tight Canterbury track, may suit the breed. I wanted to touch on Exceed and Excel's son, Reward For Effort who is standing at stud and is really producing excellent stock at the moment including the talented Ability and Blondie and in the first at Mornington, Queens Reward added another promising type to that list.


Woman -- Frankel continues to have his progeny step out in the land of Oz and are leaving their mark. This filly is out of that great mare More Joyous and is trained by the Waterhouse/Bott team. At the moment, they say that they are just assessing the fillies talents to plan an attack in the Autumn and that win on the tight Canterbury track has certainly shown them plenty for the future.
