PETE THE PROFILER IS BACK

Lightly raced but very promising galloper PETE THE PROFILER will make his return to the race track at Ascot on Saturday. PETE THE PROFILER has been a very slow maturer and had many bouts of shin soreness before he made it to the race track. He showed during his last preparation that he is a bit above average when he won three in a row at Northam and Belmont before he lost form at his next couple of starts.

The horse appears to be doing everything in good style again and I am sure that we will once again have a good time with him this campaign. I am not sure just what level he will get to but if he can live up to what he has shown in the past I am confident he will more than measure up to Saturday company.

On Saturday he bumps into another very promising and undefeated galloper in Tudor Lad from the Ross Price stable and the way he has been racing would suggest that he will take a power of beating. He has the edge in fitness on us this weekend however I am sure we will run a nice race and be improved by the outing.

We start off the day with two runners in the 1200m 3yo handicap. I don't often run two horses against each other and both of my runners were entered to run at Pinjarra today. After looking at the final field I decided that we should have a crack at Saturdays race instead of going to Pinjarra as the field did not look up to the usual Saturday standard. We can head back to Pinjarra at any time for a maiden however $50,000 races like this one are hard to pass up running in if the horse has any chance at all. Both of my runners ran nice races last start and neither would surprise if they finished in the money.
