Eagle Farm
Huge Form Meeting
Just look at the results from Eagle Farm last Saturday.
It was a huge meeting for classy winners and some outstanding beaten runs.
There will be plenty of future winners to come out of this meeting.
Race one - 2YO Fillies. Open. Handicap. 1000 metres.
Sandasta, having her first race, missed the start by five lengths.
Well back at the home turn she flew home to win in the very smart time
of 57.90 seconds.
Race two - Rest. 1 Metro. Win. Handicap. 1800 metres.
Lightly raced three year old colt Another Warrior, out of the
ill-fated sire Brave Warrior, treated the older horses with contempt
and won by eight lengths in class record time and only one tenth of a
second outside the track record. His previous start was a maiden win by
seven lengths at the track over a similar distance. Another Warrior has
only raced six times and is a very classy stayer in the making.
Race three - 3YO Class 6. Handicap. 1300 metres.
Won easily by the John Hawkes trained filly Harveynicks. She
also ran very fast time, only four tenths of a second outside outstanding
Group winner Hareeba's track record.
Race four - Rest. 0 Metro. Wins. Handicap. 1400 metres.
Won by the least credentialled of the day's winners, but four year old
gelding Sammy has now had 10 starts for two wins and an amazing
eight seconds!
Race five - Class 6. Handicap. 1600 metres.
A huge win on protest by the Bruce McLachlan trained four year old gelding
Raw Instinct. It was his fifth win from 10 starts. Also only four
fifths of a second outside the track record. The closest of seconds was
very promising three year old gelding Cumbria who has only had
five starts, was sent out the very short priced $1.65 favourite, raced
greenly when he loomed up to win and caused interference to Raw Instinct.
Cumbria beat the next horse home by nearly five lengths. Always a good
form line for a beaten horse.
Race six - Group 3. Handicap. 3200 metres.
The four year old Jack Denham trained horse, Gillespie certainly
can stay. Two starts back he won a 2100 metres Class 6 at Warwick Farm
by 10 lengths. While he didn't beat much at Eagle Farm he won in a canter
by nine lengths. Look for him in the Cup races next year.
Race seven - Open. Handicap. 1200 metres.
Won very well by quality four year old gelding Clay Shaker who
carried 56kg. and had to work hard early from barrier 10. It was his tenth
win from 18 starts. The John Hawkes trained Aggravation (seven
wins from 17 starts) put in a big run second up for second while injury
plagued seven year old gelding Prince Hakeem (11 wins from 24 starts)
resumed from a six months' spell, had absolutely no luck in the straight
and finished third.
Race eight - Rest. 1 Metro. Win-Ly. Handicap.
1400 metres.
Starting from barrier nine, carrying 57.5kg. The London Banker
worked early to lead and won well. That was his second run back from a
seven months' spell after a bleeding attack. If all stays well this five
year old gelding will only get better. He has eight wins from 14 races.
Second was Eric who had a huge formline behind the very smart Bridal
Hill the start before (beaten half a length) and confirmed the form
with another strong run.
The quality of the Eagle Farm meeting makes the nonsense served up last
Saturday at the Randwick Inner track even more odious and a slight on
those responsible for the programming? Why for example are there no three
year old fillies' races?
The best race of the day at Randwick was a nine horse Welter
over 1300 metres. Note that, not an Open handicap, but a Welter. There
was a motley collection of very ordinary restricted races commencing with
seven runners in a restricted two year old fillies event over 870 metres.
That race was followed up with fields of six, seven, seven and again seven
runners. Hardly attractive betting affairs. Useless for trifectas. Bring
on the greyhounds!
