I Gotta Horse !
Australian racehorse Winx extended her record-breaking win streak to 32 with victory in the George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill Gardens.
The mare, trained by Chris Waller, won the race for the fourth straight year in what may be her penultimate outing.
Winx justified odds of 1-17 ( You risk 17 units to win 1 ) as she claimed a 24th top-level Group One win under jockey Hugh Bowman.
"When the crowd erupted I could feel the energy increase in her body, it was just so exciting," he said.
"I'm so proud of her and proud to be part of it."
After victory. the seven-year-old horse was welcomed back by the crowd chanting "Winxy, Winxy".
It is expected Winx's extraordinary career will to come to an end after the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Randwick next month.
What rising tension there will be in the days leading up to that
Today 23rd March 2019. For a bit of fun and interest I'm backing JOKE DANCER £2 each way in the 2.25 at Kelso.
I've been given this tip by someone who knows someone who used to go out with the daughter of the bloke who mucks out the horses stable.
Think of me at about 2.35pm this afternoon U.K time, counting my winnings,and not needing to earn on Steemit again !
Caution - For my reputation as a tipster see this picture -
The Scottish track are in the ITV spotlight for once.Well deserved recognition for an independent track who always put up decent prize money. They have been rewarded with plenty of entries on a competitive card.
The 2m handicap hurdle is typical but Joke Dancer looks to have a great chance. He won a decent race at Newcastle last month comfortably after a year off, and a wind operation, and connections will not be complaining at a 5lb rise.
He was declared for the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival but that 2m5f on soft ground was deemed too stiff a test. However, he will surely stay further than the minimum and that stamina is a big plus as there is a stiff run-in at Kelso.
And there are plenty of front-runners in the line-up, which should make this a true test. Champagne City, who ran a blinder at Newbury last time, Aristo du Plessis and the novice Ingleby Hollow have all shown their best from the front.
Winston C is another progressive novice but the handicapper has given him no easy mark to start handicap life from.
CAPTAIN DRAKE can take command of the 3m2f handicap hurdle at 3.35. He was having a great battle with Tomkevi at Southwell last time when that rival came down at the last but Harry Fry's six-year-old looked to be just getting the better of the argument.
