WILD CHARGER FIRST UP

PHOTO COURTESY HOLLANDS PHOTOGRAPHICS.

Lightly raced 3yo WILD CHARGER showed by his impressive first up win at Ascot yesterday that our high opinion of him is well founded. WILD CHARGER won at his last start over 1400m at Northam in mid September, before going for a spell to allow him to mature. Yesterday was his first run since then and the way he hit the line suggests that there are more wins in store for him.

WILD CHARGER has only had four starts and is yet to miss the placings. The lightly raced son of Trade Fair, looks capable of winning in better company and we will lift the bar slightly with him from here on in. Yesterday, the horse jumped well from his inside barrier and rider Jason Whiting was quick to ease the horse in behind the leader, giving him the easiest of runs, before peeling off the leaders heels on straightening and winning in impressive style.

The ride was a carbon copy of the ride Jason gave GUYNO at Morphettville on Saturday however both Jason and GUYNO had to dig a lot deeper before also going on to win. Lets hope the fish can "three-peat" the effort when he rides GUYNO in the Adelaide Cup on Monday!
