AUSTRALIA DAY followed up his easy win last weekend with a very creditable fourth at Doncaster on thursday. There is no doubt that he's a slightly better horse racing right-handed as he favours 'leading' with his off-fore leg and just tends to lean away from the rail that way around. His front-running tactic tends to set it up for his competitiors who, now that he has gone from 68 to 97 in the weights, have the class to pick him off. It could be time to experiment with a try at 1 1/2m. He might then gain an easier lead, yet he shows no sign of stopping in his races, as though stamina may not be a problem.
We send what we think is a pretty nice two year old for his debut at Leicester today. RAKHAPURA has had a good preparation and has worked nicely at Wolverhampton on two occasions. He's a bit gassy and is best ridden in behind as he get a bit keen, but i would think they should go fast enough over six furlongs to lessen that problem. He looks fit and hard but will obviously benefit from the race and he is in against some experienced rivals. His lad, Danny Hannig has done a tremendous job with this horse and we are hopeful of a very encouraging run. If he remains calm and settled, i'm sure he'll run with great promise.
This is one of the most frantic weeks of the year , building up to The Open Day on sunday and is you stand still around here for a second, you will either get brushed, swept up or painted! Got to go as it's time for first lot and then i've got to finish painting the gates and fences at the top of the drive. We've got a few horses to sell this week and first impressions count for a lot!!
