What is it with Red Ocean? Since smashing his rivals over the 1,400m some 14 months ago, he seems to have gone calm. No more wins. Just a third and two fourth placings from seven starts. Definitely not what one would have expected from a horse who, including that...
But that would be grossly unfair to describe what really happened.Partnered by Matthew Kellady, he cleared the gates as clean as a whistle and quickly opened a three-length break on Kwazii, the mount of Ronnie Stewart, and Sportscaster, who was ridden by apprentice Jerlyn Seow.Indeed, if this was an actual race and Kellady had taken a look behind, he would have seen panic and resignation on the faces of the other riders.
From what he showed us at the trials, it could be said, with confidence, that the five-month break has rekindled his desire and racy spirit. While we have, so often in the past, seen Katak go under the minute mark at the trials, Tuesday’s effort was even better.Unlike Kellady, who had a sedan-chair ride on Red Ocean, Katak’s rider Vlad Duric had to stave off challenges from a host of runners.
