Priceless Symbol makes it back to back wins

Two city wins in a row for Priceless Symbol only five days apart.

Underrated galloper Priceless Symbol made it two wins in a row with a brilliant win at Ascot on Saturday. After putting in a sensational finishing burst on Cup Day to win well over 1100m, Priceless Symbol showed his liking for the short course, by again blowing away his opposition over 1000m at Ascot only five days later.

Priceless Symbol has been racing in top form for the past six weeks and the way he won on Saturday suggests that he is capable of doing it all again if a suitable race can be found for him. Dion, who has been riding the horse, certainly has developed an affinity with him and seems to know just when to press the go button with him.

The horse is owned in partnership between Mr Peter Walsh and some long time and very staunch stable supporters in Colin and Faye Teede, Lyle and Marj Bailey and Mike and Jen Kikeros. Colin and his group have been long time stable clients and I was lucky enough to have had some top class performers for them over the years. One of my all time favourite horses Scouts Honour who was raced by Colin Teede and partners won 15 city races for us.... no mean feat in anyone’s language.

Although Priceless Symbol still has a way to go to match Scouts Honour's feats, I am sure the crew are getting just as much enjoyment out of his wins.

It sure is nice winning races for nice people.
