A PERFECT FOUR AND A CUP TO ROUND OUT THE WEEK

The stable finished Cup week with a flourish, our last four runners winning and a trophy for the cabinet as well.

Do You Reckon scored at Cranbourne on Friday night and then our three runners on Saturday all saluted, Loyalty Man at Flemington and Pedro Ximenez and Strike Force at Geelong.

Mike Moroney was particularly pleased with the win of Loyalty Man (pictured) in a photo-finish to the 3AW Trophy over 1600m at Flemington.

"I thought he had got beaten, and I'm not usually wrong," Moroney said.

Loyalty Man had his head down at the right time to defeat the favourite Manuel by a short half-head, his first victory in almost two years following potentially career-ending injuries

Moroney said it was great to see the gelding, who has had his issues in the barriers during his career, back winning after having to spend months off the scene because of injuries suffered last season.

"This horse has done a really good job because I thought for a while he wouldn't race again after the injuries he suffered," Moroney said.

"We put him through the barriers up at Randwick because he got banned from racing for the second time because of his barrier manners.

"He had been going through as good as gold and then one day he just went berserk, flipped over and thrashed around.

"He broke three ribs and crushed a vertebrae.

"The diagnosis wasn't very good for a while but we persevered and gave him the time out and it has been a fantastic effort by everyone concerned to get him back to the track, let alone winning a race at the carnival.”

At Geelong Strike Force rounded out the day with an all the way win in the Ballan Cup carrying top weight after Pedro Ximenez had got up late to score over 2240m in the Benchmark 70 Handicap.
