Absolutelyawesome thriving in Sydney

Clinton Payne, Racenet

Trans-Tasman trainer Mike Moroney left Sydney on Tuesday morning a satisfied man after his Rosehill Guineas contender Absolutelyawesome worked strongly at Randwick.

Moroney and jockey Glen Boss made the trip to Sydney from Melbourne and Moroney said Boss spoke positively about the Kensington track gallop.

“Glen was very pleased with him,” Moroney told Sky Sports Radio on Tuesday.

“He said he feels terrific and he thought he worked really well.

“He ran home in around 36 [seconds].”

Moroney said Absolutelyawesome has “thrived” since settling into his new surroundings at Randwick.

“He’s done very well since being in Sydney and he’s been very laid back about the whole thing which is good because he was the opposite in the spring, so we’re happy with how he’s progressing,” he said.

“He’s looks very well; he’s bright and with that gallop this morning it should really tighten him up.”
