- Ocean Park and O'reily -- I thought i would commence with these two stallions because both get winners when fresh on a regular basis and today was no different. When three year old gelding Star of the Seas was a convincing winner at Warwick Farm in the opening event over 1200m for Chris Waller and Hugh Bowman. Our Libretto by O'reilly was a good winner at Sandown storming home from the rear of the field to win the maiden over 1400m. Although the later will be six in a couple of weeks so time running out for her but over the past few weeks the breed have regularly scored first up.
- Palmateer -- It was a solid win by the three year old daughter of Fastnet Rock for Chris Waller and jockey, Michael Walker who had a little fight with her through the middle stages but once she settled she was far too good. She is out of the Encosta De Lago mare, Little Surfer Girl.
- Snitzel -- It was a state double for Snitzel as we head towards spring where they will have strong representation no doubt. Special Diva at Sandown led them up in the BM 78 for fillies and mares . It was a good ride by Zac Spain for the Mick Price stable as the four year old mare just had enough in the tank to last the 1400m trip. I have notice it takes her around the third start of a prep before she hits her mark. Another win could be beckoning. While in Sydney the in form Brad Widdup stable scored with 4yo Snitzel mare, Live to Dream in BM75 for FandM. It was her fifth win from 14 starts and third start this preparation very similar formlines to Special Diva.
A decision to go forward pays off for Special Diva and @mickpriceracing. https://t.co/LbeqKalxeL pic.twitter.com/6RRQXUDFiO— Racing.com (@Racing) July 18, 2018
- Smart Missile -- The Smart Missile's started the day firing with a quinella in the opener at Sandown. It was a neck and neck struggle over the 1200m for two year old fillies between Grand Wish who got up along the inside and the well backed Chevalier Déon who had a slightly tougher run than the winner. Interesting to note is they are both out of Strategic mares. The successful Woodlands stallion who passed away earlier in the week. While we saw a promising debut at Balaclava by Isca Augusta who gave the Mcevoy/Kah short priced 2yo galloper by Bel Esprit, Belzella a run for its money in the 1050m race. The Bel Esprit's are so hot at the moment in these shorter events. There is not a day goes by without the progeny winning. These four are all worth following. In the benchmark 71 for three year olds at Warwick Farm we possibly saw the most impressive win of the day go to the Snowden trained Island Missile who under 60kg with jockey, Blake Shinn bringing the gelding to the outside and storming home to victory.
BANG! An explosive win from Island Missile at Warwick Farm today! Congratulations to his owners and to @SnowdenRacing1 #LiveTheDream> https://t.co/oVhRPtadfh pic.twitter.com/tVMpXBIihA— Triple Crown (@TripleCrownSynd) July 18, 2018
- Tony Mcevoy and Jamie Kah -- The ultimate combination were racking up some sort of epic tally at Balaclava today as their incredible run come to an end but not the winners. The opening maiden belonged to Belzella then followed the All Too Hard gelding, Demolition in the second and finally the fifth event the Hinchinbrook two year old colt East Indiaman who cruized home in the 1400m maiden. He is definately one to follow.
Tony McEvoy has an amazing 13 race winning streak at #Balaklava including the first 2 races today. 🔥🔥🔥— Palmerbet (@PalmerbetAU) July 18, 2018
Jamie Kah rides FOIE GRAS $2.40 in the next & punters think the streak can extend to 14. 😮😮😮
