Off The Beaten Track




Racing in the country. Fresh air, good times to be shared and some exciting country cup to be watched. Today we trek out to Gosford Racecourse, for the $100,000, Group 3 Gosford Gold Cup. Some great racehorses have graced this racecourse. King Of The Sea won it last year. This year so far there are 4 entries. I have supplied two of them, as an alternate to the Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Those horses are C.T.'s Pizza and Winds Of Change. Winds of Change has forgotten the fresh air and the freshly cut grass of a provincal race track. He walks out for trackwork and he thrives. He is remembering past racetrack wins, he is happier here then he is at the beach. My other entry is a new stable buy C.T.'s Pizza. He pricks his ears as he goes past the post. He is the youngest horse of the race, at 5 years of age. He chews some of the grass as the jockey jumps off. Secret Sky is another horse, a memory. He has not quite reached the heights of his three-year-old season, but he has ran well. The other entry is the big bloke, Dalal. He has been running well in the hustle and bustle at Group level. This is a perfect race for him. There are currnetly four entries, all speedy and raring to go. Who will win the Gold Cup of Gosford in 2010?



7 Gosford Gold Cup 3.50
2000m $100,000 and trophy. HCP. 3yo+. No claims.
1 46522 DALAL, 2 Victorian Racing Stables 60 2.60f
2 00545 SECRET SKY, 3 Goforwand Stables 57 5.50
3 20060 WINDS OF CHANGE, 4 JD Kayll Race Club 56.5 12.00
4 56630 C.T.’S PIZZA, 1 JD Kayll Race Club 56 6.00
Dalal 1, C.T.’s Pizza 2, Secret Sky 3, Winds Of Change 4

I think the 1-DALAL will be too nippy for this lot. Is regaining form and going well. 4-C.T.'S PIZZA will appreciate the class drop. 2-SECRET SKY hasn't been going bad. 3-WINDS OF CHANGE should enjoy the class drop.
