ALMOHAD IN AHA CUP

When I went to the races at Bunbury on Sunday, I fully expected that my horses ALMOHAD and GUYNO would fight out the finish. I even expected that ALMOHAD may have been forced into the role of pacemaker in the early stages of the race. What I didn't expect was that he would crawl along in front for the whole race and sprint home up the straight in a shocking run race. Effectively, GUYNO may have stayed back at the farm and had a stroll on the walker and a swim in the pool. He would have done more work!!!

Not trying to be a bad winner but really it was as bad a run race as Ive been involved in for quite a long time and a race where I think a lot of performances should be forgotten. Jason Whiting aboard ALMOHAD was allowed to stroll along in an uncustomary position in front before being past and then regaining the lead on the post to record one of the slowest times recorded for 2000m ever run. All that aside it was a lot better win than it looked and I am happy with where he is at as he heads towards the two big Cups.

There were some happy owners after the race all keen to get in on the celebrations and the winning feeling created by ALMOHAD.
