ALMOHAD MAKES BRILLIANT RETURN
Up and comming staying star ALMOHAD made a winning return to the race track on Saturday in what was a hard fought win over 1500m. ALMOHAD was racing for the first time since his victory over 1800m on Perth Cup day and was burdened with 58.0kg so his effort in getting up in the final few strides was full of merit.
ALMOHAD was sent down to Amelia Park Farm after his win on Cup day where he spent some time in the paddock while keeping his fitness level up with walking and swiming. The horse only did a few weeks of saddle work and went into the race on Saturday with only one solid gallop. A lot of credit for the win must go to Christy and the staff at Amelia Park for the work they did with Almohad while he was at the farm. As much as I spend plenty of time there, it is good to be able to walk away relaxed knowing that the girls have everything under control.
ALMOHAD has come through the race well and he will follow the usual lead up races towards the Bunbury and Pinjarra Cups. The horse will head towards the A.H.A. Cup at Bunbury next start before he takes on the two major races. If at any stage I feel the horse may have had enough we will send him straight to the paddock for a good spell. The horse gives every indication that he could be a real chance in the 3 major distance races at our next summer carnival.
At this stage he will be given an easy week to help him get over Saturday's gret win and I will be keeping my fingers crossed that all stays in order with him.

Hi Louie,
Congratulations on the form of ALMOHAD who has become a prolific winner and very adaptable racehorse. Love to see him racing in an Adelaide Cup one day, maybe 2011. Also you deserve full credit for your website which you regularly update and give readers an insight into how all horses in your stable are progressing. Well done, keep up the good work. I have backed ALMOHAD in every race start to date and look forward to wins in the Bunbury and Pinjarra Cups in the near future.
