GLAMOURZON ALL THE WAY.

Tough old mare GLAMOURZON, showed at Belmont on Saturday, that there is still plenty of life in the old girl yet with a gutsy all the way win over 1650m. The mare was racing second up for this preparation and it was a much deserved win for the consistent but often unlucky mare.

The win was her third in Saturday company and her third over the distance of Saturdays race. A very heady ride by Daniel Staeck saw the mare who is more renowned for sitting just off the pace, taken to the lead and winning in good style. Daniel was quick to sum up the situation with the leader putting the brakes on early, meaning he would get caught working outside the leader. Daniel quickly sent GLAMOUZON to the front and dictated the pace to a nicety.

Daniel has been riding in superb form of late and he is never shy to back his own judgement and make a decision in running. Sometimes things go wrong and I accept that but most times when Daniel takes matters into his own hands in a race he ends up having the last laugh. It is always very satisfying to see my ex apprentices riding well and now that DION has pulled the pin it gives more opportunities to guys like Daniel, Link Robertson and of course our number one rider in Jason Whiting.

Glamourzon will be kept racing while she holds form and we may even venture to the Goldfields with her this weekend and give her a crack at the BOULDER CUP. If she doesn't go to Kal, she will run in a similar race at Belmont on the weekend.
