Syndrome heads to Hobart
Promising galloper Syndrome has his first crack at Group level in Tasmania on Monday, the handsome four-year-old due to contest the $400,000 Gr.3 Hobart Cup.
Nicely drawn in barrier 7 with the services of Blake Shinn who was in winning form at Rosehill on Saturday, Syndrome is nicely primed for a step up to 2200m.
Beaten just 1.6 lengths when fifth in a strangely run race at Caulfield last start - the inconsistent pace not suiting him - Syndrome fought on hard and he has had an ideal preparation for this race.
Twice successful from four starts this campaign, Syndrome boasts strong form lines. He won the only race in which the smart Eight Bills (six starts, five wins) has tasted defeat and in the Wodonga Cup he wore down Berringama who has been in excellent form since - only just beaten at Caulfield on Saturday after a stakes placing.
Good luck to owner Richard Pegum. We are certainly due a winner after not much luck on Sunday - five runners for four placegetters and a faller.
Message to owners regarding Mae Jinx...
We would like to make the following comment regarding the article in today’s Herald Sun (1st Feb 2010) concerning the positive swab in our New Zealand stables. Mae Jinx, who won at Matamata on 23rd December, returned a positive swab to an anti-inflammatory. This was an isolated incident of human error by a senior staff member. Mike and Paul have pleaded guilty to the charge and the enquiry has been set to conclude on 12th February. We will keep you informed as to the outcome of the enquiry.
