Two from Two

That was a brilliant second start win over 1100m in a time of 1:06:17.

Sonny has now broken through all the early hoodoo’s. Debut winner from a 1200m death gate, and he wins his next start after a maiden win that is just so hard to do. 2 starts 2 wins. 100% strike rate. This little horse has got a huge depth to him. Anyone care that he is little... Hehe!!

Today was a game of cat and mouse. He was the mouse and the cats were too slow. We saw again his raw gate speed...he just flew the barriers, his “sleep” mode, and then his power at the finish. He went to the line full of running and had that 3yo field well and truly covered.

The ride by Damian Lane was perfect and the kid showed poise to just let him roll to the front when it was clear Shazza was not going to match him early. Damian stayed very quiet through the corner and then gave him the first shake and crack after they rounded. He booted clear from Chief of War and then was sort of waiting for the pack to come. He only really got moving again over that final 150m when the late brigade came bearing down. But he booted away so cleanly that it makes me think he is still learning. We will keep our eye on Chief of War who showed tremendous maturity and guts for a horse having it's first race start.
