R6. The Carbine Club Of Wa-apprentices' Cup - 1 January 1970
|
One Last Throw At The Stumps
It's no secret that Operational has been a horse of mine for a number of years and his run of outs now stretches 805 days but there are a number of reasons I am making a case for one last crack at him. He carries only 56.5kg contesting 66+ grade for the first time since 2013, has Clint Johnson-Porter the state's leading apprentice aboard in the apprentices cup, drawn to get a lovely run midfield from barrier 8 and has blinkers added to race gear. Operational has won fifth up on three separate occasions and all 9 victories are when wearing blinkers. If he is going to win another race before retirement then it is on Saturday. At $21 eachway I am more than happy to have one last go. Dust Me Off should get the run of the race from barrier 2 and is in impecable form. Ready To Fire is the best weighted horse of the class droppers meeting Verdello Blue and Dust Me Off considerably better at the weights from their July 30th and August 6th clashes. Saxapak carries only 51kg of Shelby Colgate and can settle in the box seat up on speed. Expect a genuine tempo with Verdello Blue, I Done It, Midnight Banquet and Saxapak all likely to roll forward.
