TRADUCE OUT OF LUCK AT SANDOWN TODAY

Traduce continues to race well without luck but still finished a game third at Sandown today.

Traduce was forced to race wide most of the under 60kg and as Mike Moroney explains was entitled to drop out and run last under the circumstances but stayed on bravely for the minor prize.

“He began well enough but he got no favours in the run, being posted wide without cover in a 3000 metre race and not a lot Blake Shinn could do about it,” Mike said.

“He’s not a horse you can lead on and going back to last would have been the wrong option I think so it was just unfortunate. The horse is racing well, he’s got a few options now at a distance.

“He’s a happy horse and and he just needs an ounce of luck and I do feel that when he does break through he can string a few together.

“Today was not the right result but we’ll see how he comes through today, work through the calendar and then make a plan with him.”
