SNOOKIE THE BOOKIE ON HER WAY

Some times it takes a while for the penny to drop with some horses. SNOOKIE THE BOOKIE is a classic example of that. The filly has been around the place in her races over the past few months but has failed to break her maiden status.Dropping back to easier company at Northam yesterday and aided by an aggressive ride from jockey Daniel Staeck, the filly showed what she is capable of by defeating a handy field of older horses.

The filly was placed behind the W.A.OAKS winner Grand Journey over 2200m in the final hit out to the Oaks earlier this year and if she can reproduce that effort next weekend she should be hard to beat in the Belmont Oaks over 2000m. What ever the rest of this preparation has in store for her, I am confident that when she finally matures mentally and physically, she has a bright future ahead of her.

This filly continued a great run of success our stable has enjoyed at Northam over the past few weeks with PETE THE PROFILER and SALE TOPPER both winning their maiden at the top class Avon track.
