UNRACED COLT TO MAKE RACE DEBUT

You may recall that back in June this year I posted an article on this site regarding a couple of very promising unraced colts I had in the stables. Since then nothing has happened to make me change my mind about either colt,in fact I would have to say that I have been more than happy with their progress. Both continue to work well and both have shown enough in their trials and track gallops to suggest that they have a very bright future.

On Wednesday I will be taking the first of the two unraced colts to the Belmont races where he will make his debut in R5 The Pacific Transport Hcp over 1400m. Although lacking in experience but certainly not confidence, I am confident that he will acquit himself well over the next few months as he gets a handle on what the world of racing is all about.

The next day he will be taken to Northam where he will get a couple of chances to show off his style. It is very unusual that someone so young and inexperienced should get the opportunity to ride for the states leading stable however his lack of experience has not stopped Neville Parnham from giving him a "sit" in one of the 1400m maidens on the day. He may even get to take one or two around for me in the hope that beginners luck may bring good luck.

Good luck for the future "Roo" and keep up the good work.

The second of my unraced colts, Kevin "Crow" Bohorun still needs a few more gallops and a few more trials to bring him to his top but should be ready to make his debut in another month or so. Kevin started a bit later than "Roo" but is not wasting any time in bringing his skills up to the level required.
