Master of Design


On July 1st, country racing took us to Sale,Taree,Mudgee and Naracorte with soft and heavy tracks. There was a promising Smart Missile called Butchoy who is worth following and a double for the Reset's at Sale and a promising Master of Design two year old at Taree to give that stallion a double for the day.
  •       Sale on soft 7 -- The win of Extending at 150/1 in the 1200m maiden with young Toby Atkinson in the saddle surprised everyone, bar the trainer, Bruce Purcell. He is by the Encosta de Lago stallion, Needs Further who has the Nureyev blue hen, Lady Giselle mother of Zabeel on his female line. In the next we saw the first win of a double for stallion, Reset when the 5 year old mare, Queen Regent broke her maiden status at last. While the three year old gelding Kapuziner in the class 1 made it two in a row with a freshen up after winning over 2200m previous start. It was a start of a winning double for jockey Jamie Mott as he was successful in the next in the BM64 over 1400m on the Master of Design four year old gelding, Vladivostock, for the flying John Mcardle stable. He has been very consistent this preperation. There was a gem of a ride by Linda Meech which saw Magnus Rufus get home in the 1400m Maiden for trainer Nigel Blackiston. The three year old gelding had to fight off late challenges for Linda but just had enough in reserve. He is by Magnus from the Canny Lad mare, Canny Rogue.


  • Taree -- in the class 1 over 1100m there was a good win by the Smart Missile , mare Villarrica when having to be used up early to take a position for jockey Serge Lisny she shot clear on straightening and held off a late challenge. She was having her third run in so was fit which is what got her through. There was a big win by the first starter for Kris Lee's, Designer Maid. The Master of Design filly raced away to win by five lengths for jockey Louise Day and is out of the Snippets mare, Homegrown. In form jockey Josh Adams scored a double with wins by Asudem in the 1250m and veteran Crossing Guard for trainer, Paul Perry. The former is a Duporth two year old gelding having his third run this preperation.

  •  Naracorte -- The win of  Dexelation was a highlight of the meeting in South Australia as Ryan Hurdle was pushing him along most of the 1100m to stay in touch but then took the inside lane on turning and finished strongly to win. The Ambidexter three year old gelding was switched back to the 1100m from his previous 1550mm failure and freshened. The Commands stallions progeny do struggle beyond the 1200m.
  • Mudgee --  Three year old Smart Missile gelding, Butchoy is the one worth following from the Mudgee meeting with a easy win for jockey Chad Lever. He was off a spell today and made it two wins from three starts now.The breed go super freshened. 

  • Blackbookers -- Never Again by High Chaparral was up to 1400m today gets to 1600m or further next start get on. Sagara by Teofilo up to 1600m next start will be fitter improving all the time.
