Sonny Race 5

Race 5 ....2nd by a short head

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be7MvMpFYFE

Sonny stepped out for his second run this campaign and acquitted himself very well to lead from the beginning but just get caught before the line, running second by a short head.
He lugged top weight of 59kg and did all the work from the outside barrier to get to the front and lead the race.

Damian shot him out like a rocket, and he was freewheeling in front in unfamiliar territory.

At the top of the straight he was left exposed and fought off the first wave of attackers before Mio Fratello loomed outside and ran him down. It was a solid run and he should improve from it for his next start.

Race 1 Campaign 2

Sonny stepped out for his first start in the new campaign. Things started off pretty well with him showing his explosive start and he lobbed beautifully. The field was a very strong one, and passing the 600m a lot of horses were pushing forward starting their runs with Sonny stuck back in a bit of traffic.

Coming around the corner, they were all flying but Sonny did not get a clear run to have a crack. Had he got out, he still would not have made it to win but he may have finished a little closer up to the winner.

A good first up run to build upon and he took no damage from the run.

Race 1, Campaign 2

Sonny is set to step out at Geraldton for his first campaign for the year. He has had a great long break, grew his woolly coat, and came back a little bigger and stronger. After quite a long preparation he had a satisfactory trial and is now poised to open his account.

All aboard, for those with a ticket :)
