Miss Fabulass and Nuke

       Racing came from Canterbury and Sandown midweek with a Murray Bridge meeting in South Australia. The opener at Canterbury saw the blueblood, Miss Fabulass come out on top. The Frankel filly controlled the three horse race, to win easily. She is out of the excellent Redoutes Choice mare, Samantha Miss who ran third in the 2008 Cox Plate and is a triple group one winner. There was a double to the Smart Missiles. While the Chris Waller trained four year old Ocean Park gelding, Star of the Seas made it two wins in a row this preparation.

• Smart Missile -- There was a double for the Fastnet Rock stallion on Wednesday with wins to Nuke at Canterbury and the 3 year old filly Chevalier Deon which recorded an easy win over the 1300m BM 64 at Sandown. The John Mcardle trained galloper was well ridden by Jamie Mott sitting behind the leaders until the turn where she got a split and burst through for the win. James Innes jnr rode his first city winner as a senior jockey, after two months without his claim, on the Smart Missile three year old gelding,Nuke. He drove up along the inside rail to beat the favorite Bubbbles‘n’Troubles, by a head.

•  Sandown and Declaration of Heart --Declaration of Heart who is by the War Front stallion, Declaration of War out of the Encosta De Lago mare, Cardiac. The colt won with a lot of authority over the 1300m distance. Trained by Anthony Freedman and ridden by Mark Zahra he is now unbeaten in his only two starts.

• Ocean Park -- Star of the Seas was yet another winner for the five time group one winning stallion Ocean Park who stands at Waikato Stud in New Zealand. He is really starting to produce the winners and they are especially good fresh over the 1200 to 1400m trips. The Waller trained galloper was ridden by Jay Ford and had been freshened since his last win on 18th July at Warwick Farm for the 1250m event. At Murray Bridge we saw a win to Celtic Blast over the 900m he has now won twice over the short trip and three wins from five starts. He is by the Commands stallion, Atomic who stands at for a service fee of just $1,650 at Daffey’s Claremont Thoroughbreds at Gatum in Victoria.
