In the Standish Handicap, Doomsday went off at 8/1 and trailed only early leader Attack At Dawn for the first 4 furlongs. As Attack At Dawn faded under the race-high 125 lbs, With Imagine from Establos Del Castillo and Belfast Cat from Hutton's Horse Haven rushed into the Win and Place positions. Doomsday was able to hold on for the Place. It was his 5th consecutive in-the-money finish.
Doomsday has a season record of 5-1-3-1. He has performed very well this year after a poor 2008. There was serious consideration given to his retirement or sale at the end of last year. We are very pleased that he has confirmed our decision to race him for one more year.
Big Slick came back from an injury and was immediately faced with a 20 horse field in an allowance . We were happy to get an opportunity to stretch him out a bit in this 9 furlong affair. Big Slick was able to navigate through traffic and was leading at the 6 and 8 furlong posts. With a furlong to go he began to lose ground to Spartan's Ghostseeker, who then cruised in for the victory. Sweet Tombi from Parklands also slipped ahead to finish second.
So, in his return from injury, Big Slick finished 3rd in a field of 20. We are happy with that result. He'll get 5-6 weeks off before this next race.
For the week, 2-0-0-2. No wins, but both on-the-board. Next week some of our stable stars will hit the track.
