POODLE OR PIT BULL???

The name ST PIERRE seems very apt for this lightly framed son of Montjeau. After all he is built more like a sleek little french poodle than a power packed pit bull. Hopefully the reports on him are correct and the boy has the determination and fighting qualities of the latter.I have watched his three runs in N.Z. and he does look like a tough little horse.

ST PIERRE will run first up at Ascot tomorrow in a 1500m 3yo race and I hope to learn a lot more about him after the run. He has drawn a very ordinary barrier and he will need a lot of luck to figure in the placings however I am confident that there is plenty of improvement in him. Providing he does he will have his next run about two and a half weeks later. He is bred to get ground and hopefully his breeding will come to the fore as we step up the distances of his races.

At this stage the horse is fairly new and imature but he does give the impression that he could develop into a nice middle distance performer with more time and maturity.
