Flower Alley gelding has been pitted against the best in the land.
It is often worth following the trajectory a trainer takes with his horses as it gives one an idea of how he or she rates the runner.
The son of Flower Alley only had one run as a juvenile and only really started his racing career as a three-year-old. He won his maiden at the fifth time of asking over 1450m on the Vaal Classic track in October last year and just four days later contested the Non-Black Type Bloodstock SA Sales Cup.
The four-year-old only received a 1.5kg penalty for that win and now that he appears to have matured substantially, and racing against the right class of company, Royal Edition can extend his winning run when he lines up in Race 6, a MR 84 Handicap over 1700m, at the Vaal on Thursday.Based on the average merit ratings, he is down in class, but he will carry a lot more weight on this occasion, 7.5kg to be precise.
However, in one of these weird things that can happen during a race, Total Surrender and a bird collided 100m from home so one is never sure how much of an impact, if any, that made on the outcome of the race. Craig Zackey takes the ride.
