GUYNO......SO FAR SO GOOD.
What more can I say about my tough little mate GUYNO that hasn't been said before? He's tough. He's honest. He gives his all. He's a real charachter and he aint done with yet! In yesterday's gutsy win over 2600m at Morphetville, he once again displayed all of those qualities.
The win yesterday was the first time that GUYNO has won two on the trot and it makes it two out of two on the road this time around. Although the feild was reduced to only six runners, it still proved to be a very competetive race. GUYNO has been forced to race out of his comfort zone at his past two starts, due to a combination of a lack of pace and the barrier draw in each race.
Going in to yesterdays race there appeared to be a genuine lack of pace and we were always destined to end up in behind the leader in the run. What this meant was that we were always likely to hit the front way to early for his liking and that proved to be the case yesterday. This left him vulnerable to be run down by the swoopers and that looked the case with 100m left to run. To his credit, as soon as he saw the opposition come to him, he dug deep and turned what looked like certain defeat into another sensational win.
GUYNO has come through the race in tip top order and was bright and clean in his action when he went for a long walk this morning. The horse will have an easy week this week with a combination of trot and canter work and beach work. We will be accepting for the horse in the Cup next Monday and it will be an interesting week leading into the Cup.
Yesterday's win was a penalty free race and it will be interesting to see what the final make up of the feild is. Guyno is currently weighted on 55.5kg however this is likeley to go up depending on which of the horses above us in the weights decide to accept for the race. Naturally it will be a bit harder to win the Cup with 57.0kg than it will be with 55.5kg but the reality is that it is something which is out of my hands so there is no point worrying about it. I am confident that given a good barrier draw, we will once again prove hard to beat.
