ALMOHAD IS ON HIS WAY

ALMOHAD with Jason Whiting on board, toys with his rivals at Pinjarra last week.

3YO gelding ALMOHAD could not have been more impressive than he was when winning at Pinjarra last Thursday. The lightly raced son of Rock Of Gibraltar, was having only his second race start when he toyed with his opposition in the 1400m maiden event.

ALMOHAD raced first up at Northam on Cup Day and I was very impressed with his performance on the day. The horse settled back in the field before working home strongly without really having much idea of what was required of him. He actually covered as much ground running sideways in the straight as he did going forwards.

With the experience under his belt and a few gear changes the horse was able to hit the line in a far more tradesman like manner at his second race start and the future is looking good for this young horse. I will only give him one or two more runs before we put him away for a short break and get him back for an autumn campaign aimed at the W.A.Derby. It may be aiming high but I have no doubt that he can develop into a more than useful stayer in seasons to come.
