GREEN PAIR TO YOUNG GUNS
Courtesy GRAQ website - 4 June, 2007.
ROGER Green will head back to Rockhampton to take on a up-coming Young Guns series with exciting youngsters Stone Cold Sober and Hi Ransom.
That pair ran the Quinella in a Maiden 1000 at Rockhampton last Thursday night, Stone Cold Sober (Hallucinate-Kalka Kate) winning in a track record 23.27 eclipsing Oops Sorry’s previous mark of 23.29.
Hi Ransom (Brett Lee-Hitech Star) was beaten just a length and a quarter after running off on the home turn when looming up to win the race.
The Rockhampton Young Guns (407m) series will be run on June 23 and 28.
Green had planned to take both young dogs to Grafton for the rich maiden series there, but ran out of time to have them fully educated.
“I like to make sure they have sufficient field trials before racing my young dogs,” he said.
“The Maiden 1000 was just right for them.”
Green already rates both dogs as good at this stage as any dog he has trained, including Melbourne Cup winner Roanokee.
He says Stone Cold Sober is easily the best beginner of the pair and both will be seen at their best when they get to 520m.
QUEENSLAND owned bitch Miss Hot Gossip (Surf Lorian-Roxy Reason) is likely to start hot favourite for Saturday night’s Group 2 Peter Mosman Classic final at Wentworth Park.
Bred and owned by Dave Robartson, Miss Hot Gossip is now trained by Jason Thompson in Victoria and was the recent Group 2 WA Oaks winner.
She ran a flying 29.86 when winning her Mosman Classic semi-final last Saturday night by eight and a half lengths.
Box draw for the Mosman Classic Final is:
1 Black Gambler
2 Corporate Raida
3 Master Izmir
4 Miss Hot Gossip
5 Ova Here Now
6 Run The Risk
7 Burrel Blaizer
8 Blazing Token
Reserves
9 Raglan Street
10 Cool Conquest
TWEED Galaxy hopefuls Pedro’s Me Mate and No Excess warmed up for the heats this weekend when fast Prelude winners at the track last weekend.
Pedro’s Me Mate (Where’s Pedro-Micky Transton) ran a brilliant 23.27 to win a Prelude by a length over Kingsbrae Di with eight lengths to Chloe Magoo in third.
He races out of the Denise Robinson kennel.
And Steve Kavanagh’s No Excess (Collision-Late Show Lady) ran 23.31 when winning by four lengths in his Prelude beating Singin The Blues with a half length to Spring Story in third.
Victorian galloper Train A Journey trialled brilliantly after the last race at Tweed on Saturday in preparation for the Galaxy.
