Positive he will be in the mix somewhere as Stable Foreman or Training Racing Manager which will be an understudy role for the future. Hard to imagine Opie being lost out of the Te Akau system
Take her out of the equation and the sales figures are pretty ordinary. One more day of Book #1 then Book#2 vendors will be clenching their butt cheeks I reckon.
Gulfstream Park, under threat of closure, still staged the Pegasus Invitational races on Saturday evening (local).
The turf race saw 8/1 shot SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS score his biggest success beating INTEGRATION, ridden by Frankie Dettori, who went three places better than last year. A miserable spell for Godolphin continued with NATIONS PRIDE trailing home ninth.
2023 Whitney and Breeders Cup Classic winner WHITE ABARRIO returned to form with a vengeance with a six and a half length romp in the Dirt race. He was a well beaten favourite in last year’s Saudi Cup but with the latter race moved a month later he could be heading back to Riyadh but we’ll see.
FRANKEL’s full brother NOBLE MISSION was a very good horse ending with a rating of 123. 20 lbs behind his sibling but still well into Group 1 territory and he won the Champion Stakes at Ascot on his final race in 2014.
He’s also been a decent stallion - the one you would know of his was SPANISH MISSION who was third in the 2021 Melbourne Cup behind a certain VERRY ELLEGGANT.
But only if they're winning and winning regularly. I believe we'll now see a paradigm shift - who knows to what degree - but bubbles invariably burst sooner or later.
A tongue twister of a call... He did exceptionally well ...
