R7. Hyperion Stakes - 1 January 1970
|
Queen of Belmont
Nobody can argue that Wink and a Nod is the current Queen of Belmont Park. 15 starts at the track for an incredible 8 victories, she loves the concrete surrounds, loves the long straight and loves Lucy Warwick. Their association is incredible and I hope she can go over East later in the year and match it with the best. Hard to tip against her here after she was backed as if unbeatable in the Belmont Sprint and duly saluted. Will do it tougher from barrier 7 than she did from barrier 1 but is clearly still the one to beat. Proceedwithcaution was epic carrying 61kg to victory and is a very handy pick up ride for Ben Paterson after Shaun McGruddy elected to retain the ride on Balmont Girl. Her first-up run was excellent coming from last and shouldn't be discounted. Hazzabeel has a huge following but still looks a bit below top class company. He will win his fair share of races but I think they will be 72+ and 78+ events rather than at Group and Listed Level. Hope to see the old champ Luckygray pick himself up again and run a big race.

No pic holding a basket full of duck eggs today? ;))Only saw one race today - the last. Great ride by LW - soft trip on the fence throughout, peeled it out at the right time and was unlucky not to get the chocolates
