Two Year Olds and Humidor

The Golden Slipper is on our doorstep and the lead ups, of the two hot horses were outstanding yesterday . Written By in the Pago Pago Stakes, kept his unbeaten run in tact. He had a bit of battle up the straight but by gee, didnt he show some fight. The Written Tycoon colt blitzed them in the Blue Diamond a few weeks back and he looks like he has only gotten stronger. The Zoustar filly, Sunlight was equally impressive, making it five in a row, in the Magic Knight Stakes.  She was a little fired up yesterday so this run has probably taken the edge off of her, which all goes good for next week, in the Slipper. Sunlight is now a firm favourite ahead of Written By, for next week.

Here is Sunlight after selling for $300,000 at the 2017 MM Gold Coast Yearling 

 

Humidor 

A great return from Humidor yesterday in the Blamey Stakes Group 2. He sat back at the tail of the field, until in the straight, where he pulled out to make his run.Oh! If he would only go straight.What this horse could do. Hung in all the way down the straight which made it a close contest between him and Cool Chap. The Teofilo galloper is rated below Happy Clapper and Kementari in the world rankings but i believe this preparation could be a turning point. Although the new kid on the block Kementari has alot less convictions than old Humidor. The youngsters bloodline will probably test Kementari, beyond 1600m being by Lonrho out of a Redoutes Choice mare.  

Wanted to mention an up and coming Commands filly, Demerara . She has now won five of her seven starts and yesterday up the straight showed plenty of determination to win. She is out of the Canny Lad mare, Rum Cruise. Have always loved the determination in the Commands breed and I'm sure it comes through from the Eight Carat blood of his mum Cotehele House. Good blood, just look at Octagonal direct Eight Carat blood and the fight he passed on to his boy Lonrho. The Godolphin filly could be our next superstar. Then Peacock gets up in the last at Rosehill yesterday by Lonrho out of the Commands mare Iredescent. Eight Carat heaven !
