Folkswood and Foxwedge

 Pakenham Saturday -- Winners were 3yo filly, Nothin on Me by Not A Single Doubt in the maiden . Lost count how many winners this breed had on Saturday including the Boss in the Guineas. The Reward For Effort 4yo gelding Palma Merenti over 1200m for the Andrew Noblet yard and Captain Sonador gelding Captains Son in the 1000m BM58. Wanted to mention the Captain Sonador breed, the 1000m is their go . 

Written Tycoon -- A race to race double at Penola on Sunday for the breed. Lindsay Alfred ridden by Holly Mckechnie won the 1400m class 2 in race 6, easily. Then Written Rulz came from a long way back in the BM64 over 2100m ridden by Krystal Bishop to salute. Then at Tatura on monday, Tycoon Tony  completed a great weekend for the breed coming out on top in the BM58 1100m event after a difficult ride for Tom Stockdale. He is out of the Rubiton mare Real Ruby and I learnt something about the Rubiton breed, many years ago . They love it fresh.

Highgate Hill -- This High Chaparral mare continued on his winning way in the BM64 over 2025m for Greg Eurell stable and ridden by Jamie Mott. Confidence really helps and this galloper has it, right now. She is a daughter of Petta Gaye a Danehill mare.

Apache Cat Classic -- The 1000m Classic on Cranbourne Cup day was won by Rock'n'Gold. This Rock of Gibraltar gelding is trained by Ellerton/Zahra and was ridden by in form Damian Lane. I'm starting to see that the breed have an affinity for the 1000m. 

Cranbourne Cup -- An easy win by Folkswood here in the listed cup over the 2025m. It gave Charlie Appleby another country cup and made it a great weekend for Kerrin Mcevoy after his Everest win on Saturday . I made n error of judgement here, thinking being by Exceed and Excel the 5yo gelding may not get the trip but he is out of the Galileo mare Magic Nymph. The Galileo progeny look so strong and he definately has thrown to the mares side.

Foxwedge  -- The mare Pleasantries in the 1200m class 1 at Kembla on saturday continued her unbeaten start to her career. She is out of the Elusive Quality mare Polite. While the last on the card at Cranbourne saw the talented Fox Hall score for the Mcevoy yard in the BM78 over 1400m, ridden by Luke Currie.

The son of Fastnet Rock is the sire of group one filly Foxplay. 

Here is her win in the Coolmore 2017

Hard Spun -- Wound Tight won the last on the card at Tatura with another good front running ride by Chelsea Hall. She seems to have an affinity with this breed. Let them roll in front and they really find for you. The old gelding Jarrah Twist got home for young Declan Bates at Penola as well over the 1300m in the BM72 on Sunday. The 8yo has now had 12 victories from 62 starts.
