Luckygray back for feature sprints

Perth Turf Talk | Metropolitan Racing | Thu 10 January, 2013

Luckygray will target the Newmarket Handicap (1200m) first-up at Flemington on March 9.

The Poletti-trained galloper hasn’t raced since winning the Group I Kingston Town Classic over 1800 metres on December 8. 

In his last venture to Melbourne, the Bradbury’s Luck gelding finished fourth in the Group II Peter Lawrence Stakes and 11th in the Group II Memsie Stakes on wet tracks.

The striking grey is yet to taste defeat over 1200 metres in five starts and is likely to meet Barakey in the feature sprints.

Poletti said the Doncaster Mile in April was still a possibility for Luckygray, who returned to his stables on Monday.

"The Newmarket is his main aim," Poletti told The West.

"He will be entered for the Doncaster, but whether he has another start will depend on how things go.

"I plan to get stabling at Flemington so he can have a trial up the straight before the Newmarket."

Just a quick question, why do NSW and Qld go anti clockwise and the rest go clockwise? Have a mate over and he asked me. :(|) It's actually the other way around The greyhounds and the pacers all go the anti clockwise, even in nsw and qld
