Eduardo to assert his dominance in Saturday’s Group 1
Doomben 10,000.
Pride said the gun gelding was sharp and forward in his work ahead of the $1 million 1200 metre feature.
He said Eduardo was the clear class runner and will take a power of beating at a track that looks designed to suit his front running racing pattern.
“He’s in great order and is going as well as he ever has, I loved his trial last week,” Pride told
Racing Pulse.
“You’ve got to have a healthy respect for your opposition, but I honestly believe in this instance if he turns up and brings his A-game, he will be too good for them.”
Chris Waller chases three consecutive Queensland Guineas wins Posted by: Graham Potter+ at 10:45am on 30/4/2021
The Chris Waller trained Kolding once again showed just what a good horse he is when he got his head down on the line to thwart the game effort of Savatiano in the Group 1 All Aged Stakes in a mesmerising two-way finish at Randwick last Saturday.
That’s eleven wins from thirty starts for Kolding now and, in case you missed it, his career prize-money earnings now stands at $6 387 200. Other Group 1 wins behind Kolding’s name includes the 2019 Epsom and the George Main Stakes, amongst other multiple Group race wins and, of course, Kolding also won the 2019 Golden Eagle.
WE NEED RIVALRIES, TRIBALISATION AND PLAYERS TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS
Rugby League’s showpiece and biggest success in the sport’s history is the State of Origin that is built on a battleground mentality of ‘mate against mate’ and ‘state versus state’.
AFL, NRL, football (soccer) and The Ashes are all built on the passion for one’s team or nation against the other who supporters have some hatred for.
It drives competition and instils passion into the sport.
Racing needs more Joe Pride’s, a man who speaks his mind and isn’t afraid to stir the pot all in the name of sparking interest in the sport.
Australia: Four Group 1 Races Friday Night In The Championships At Randwick Sponsored by:
Eduardo, right, holds off Nature Strip in the G2 Challenge Stakes
Australia s equivalent of the Breeders Cup commences this Friday night, as Day One of “The Championships” at Randwick features a quartet of rich Group One races. Sky Racing World s racing expert Jason Witham will be trackside at Randwick for live crosses to the TVG broadcast (First Post: 9:35pm ET / 6:35pm PT).
Just as America s season-defining event takes place in the Fall, a couple of months before the season concludes, The Championships fall within Sydney s “Autumn Racing Carnival” a few months before the end of the Southern Hemisphere racing season. Like the Breeders Cup, The Championships is a two-day event, except the two days are staged a week apart. More than $21 million in purses are up for grabs across the next two Friday nights, and each day of The Championships features an eagerly awaited re
To paraphrase a successful senior jockey – good riders don’t need instructions and bad ones don’t follow them .
I note this in the wake of another messaging own goal coming from Racing Australia in a seemingly bizarrely timed Good Friday eve statement announcing an amendment to the Rules of Racing in relation to riding instructions.
This is the one that cemented jockeys only receive riding instructions from a trainer or owner of the horse they are riding.
Again in seeking – in RA’s own words – they didn’t want jockeys to be confused by receiving “conflicting riding instructions”.
Where did this come from? Where were the serious concerns raised, discussed, tabled and wrapped into this change? Which were later written away as merely formalising a “chain of command”, if you can get your head around that.
