Canterbury 30.9.09
KW again performed at his consistent high standard in a race that was not run to suit him. The slow early pace set by the leader and eventual winner and the fact that he was boxed in on the rails at a stage when others were moving forward around him, meant that he was not able to make his long sustained run as in his memorable Kembla victory.
Nevertheless he fought on well all the way to the line and jockey Taylor Lovelock-Wiggins commented after the race that he felt strong beneath him and thought he could handle longer races of, say, 1800m.
As predicted there was plenty of money for him late and he started at $2.60 fav.As always Gerald's magic touch was evident. He looked terrific and shone in the coat. He has muscled up well this preparation and Gerald is looking to races like the Winter Cup next year.
