Hesi Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Super impressive win in the Hobartsville Stakes. Is this the best 3 year old we have seen come out of NZ in a long time. Easy win on Sat, nice acceleration at the 100m to put the race to bed, eased down in the end Next start is the Randwick Guineas, then the Rosehill Guineas, then decisions to be made on whether to go to the Doncaster Mile(won twice by his sire), or the ATC Derby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LookingForValue Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Impressive win, really only had to do enough to win. More in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turny Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Yep sure he will be very competitive at the top end, hoping he can get 2400 then a live Derby prospect in Sydney but to me looks like a Doncaster type He is a goodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I was lucky enough to be on course the day Sacred Falls won the Hawkes Bay Guineas. Aegon is the closes I have seen to have his sire's genes. He may even be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the race but his effort from the 600m-200m was different to how he usually runs. Race time he can run but the profile of the race perhaps his undoing because of firmer track?

Maximus Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 IMO a combo of the firmer track and 2nd-up syndrome was his undoing. We know he's got a great 'turn of foot' but perhaps that blistering run a fortnight ago took more out of him than everyone thought. Horse -esp young ones- are not machines - he's had a flight over, a tough run to win well first-up and was asked to go again. Mebbe he just needed another week to get over the first run. I' wouldn't be looking at a Derby or even a 2000m race for him based on that run. Freshen up and head for the Doncaster, carrying no weight, get a decent draw and you're a 'live' chance.

MM I also think there is a definite downgrade in performance second up in Australia for Kiwi horses. It happens too regularly to be coincidental.
