DYNAMIC PERFORMERS

Pillar of Hercules

Pillar of Hercules going out for the Grp 1 McKinnon Stakes

It was with great anticipation that the Pillar made his race track comeback in the Listed Wellington RC Stakes. It in fact got too much for one of the owners who had to leave Caulfield before the race, having come down with an illness. Pillar was warmed up with an easy trial at Cranbourne prior to the event, just to remind him of the fact that he is a race horse. Expectations before the race were for a great showing, but with his grand final not for another 10 weeks, so long as it was not a terrible run, the camp would be happy. Well!!  Jumping from barrier 5, jockey Luke Nolen was able to slot him in exactly where we wanted him, in the third pairing from the front. Cruising up to the turn, Pillar had the eventual winner, Turffontein in front of him. Making their runs at the same time, Pillar was flushed four wide and chased the winner right to the line to take second spot. The horse ran sensationally well. We are so excited about his upcoming preparation with races like the Australian Guineas and AJC Derby on his agenda. He is a horse that can jump and take a forward position on the pace in a staying race. The big advantage of this is that he can run home in very good sectionals and it is going to take exceptional horses that can run exceptional sectionals to get around him. Bring on the Autumn.

Cat Burglar

Cat Burglar posting her first career victory at Randwick

Lining up at Randwick over 1300m from a wide barrier with Blake Shinn on board, connections were anxious to avoid the bad luck that had plagued Cat Burglar in her first two career runs. Looking a picture in the yard, she jumped with the field and coasted through her first couple of hundred metres. Assessing the pace, Blake then shook her up and had her head them off rather than being posted four wide. This was the winning move as she was able to settle at her own pace and then surge from the 250m. Never headed again, she went to the line to win by a length. Getting off the horse Blake mentioned that he had another two or three lengths up his sleeve which augers very well for the future. In regards to the future, while she is in the paddock at the minute, will it be some black type racing in Brisbane over Winter or the Sydney Spring? Either way, this filly is a definite for your black book.

Appleholic

Appleholic as a yearling

If there was ever a mare that was crying out for a race with just a smidgin of pace, over a 2000m journey, then this is your mare. Being such a big horse, she has to be allowed to find her feet. Once she does and she settles, she is capable of a withering final burst in the home straight. She has shown this at her last two starts at Randwick and Canterbury. At Randwick she settled at the tail with the eventual winner on her outside. Swap positions and you could make a very reasonable case to say that Appleholic could have won as she was held up getting a run and rattled home into fourth spot for Hugh Bowman. At Canterbury, a farcical pace put paid to her chances. She is nominated for a 1600m race at Newcastle on Saturday and this will be right up her alley with the big roomy straight.

Plan of Attack

Plan of Attack at the pre training yard of Gary Nickson.

Heading to the races for the first time, we knew we had a nice filly but the wet track had us up in the air about her chances. Drawing the inside gate, the instructions were to try and put her into a winning position but if she was not handling the going, then not to knock her around. Upon settling, she found herself third last on the inside, not the place to be on a day when leaders won 6 of the 7 races and the only horses to make up good ground in the straight where out wide on the track. In the straight she was given a couple of educational slaps on the bum and coasted to the line. Getting off the filly, Blake Shinn was delighted with the way she went. She didn't handle the wet track and in the run she also was the recipient of a black eye. Last Saturday, Plan of Attack went around at Newcastle and in a much improved run, raced on the speed and held on to be beaten by 2 lengths. This was a very good effort as we know we are still getting her fit due to the wet tracks. She star gazed down the straight watching the grand stand and the in course results board. Blinkers and back on top of the ground and over 1400m, this filly will be a nice bet at odds.

Alotta Lute

Alotta Lute parading before his first victory

Burdened with a 68 rating after his victory in a $45K maiden on New Year's Day, Alotta Lute was a victim of his own racing style, at his next start at Randwick. On New Year's Day with the small field, he was able to circle the field upon settling. This time in a field of 14, he was as usual, not as quick as the field in getting into full rhythm and he found himself 3 wide, with cover, with horses all around him. To improve from where he was, Glynn Schofield would have had to do a U-Turn and then go 6 and 7 wide. Biding his time with nowhere to go, a split only presented itself at the 300m mark and Alotta Lute flew into fourth position. While not the result that we wanted, it actually gave us food for thought in that we now know what was previously suspected. Allow him time to find his feet and over a distance he will charge home from the top of the straight. Alotta Lute is a definite for the black book over 1600m to 2000m and in fact may be a chance to go to the 1800m at the Magic Millions.

Eight Moons

Eight Moons at Canterbury Park

Despite a 2.5 length 5^th on a wet track early in his career, it was not known if Eight Moons really liked the wet or not on race day. He doesn't like a wet track. Starting from an inside barrier, Mitch Beadman had him in the box seat. Upon straightening, just as he was pulling out his whip in his left hand, the jockey on the horse on his outside pulled the whip on his right side, and in the motion to start windmilling, knocked the whip out of Mitch's hand. So not liking the wet and not having a whip, he was left to run to the line under his own steam when his winning chance had evaporated. Beaten only 4 lengths, we are just waiting for a dry track to get on. Saturday saw a dead 5 and Eight Moons really did show that he does not like to get his toes wet. He is going to go for a short break to refresh him mentally and then back in work to get him to the black type level that we believe he has the ability to reach.

Handsome Stash

Handsome Stash as a 2yo at the pre trainers

After 2 aborted attempts due to wet weather, Handsome Stash finally made it back to the races. Even though the track was slow, he had to go around with regards to future plans. With Blake Shinn on board, he was the first out of the barriers and under riding crossed the field. The well backed favourite then crossed after us to take the lead and we found ourselves third on the fence. Under riding as they straightened, Handsome Stash came away from the fence but the wet track is not his go and he boxed on steadily to the line. A dry track and 2000m is what this horse is looking for. He jumps so well that he will always be able to put himself on the pace, which is always an advantage.

 Noble Edict

Noble Edict and the winning connections after his first start at Canterbury Park

After a highly anticipated but ultimately doomed Spring campaign due to EI, Noble Edict finally made it back to the races at a low key mid week Kensington meeting. The Spring had lofty aims like the Caulfield Guineas in mind, as at his first and only start, he beat group level performers in Xaardante and Ease. A week after Noble's first start, Golden Slipper winner, Forensics came out over the same course and distance and ran 0.1 second slower time at his first start. Knowing that we needed to run Noble Edict for fitness if we were to have him ready for the 3yo Magic Millions 1400m trophy on March 24^th, we just needed him to get around the Kensington track and show us that he was back after such an long enforced break. While we know how good he is, in finishing third, he almost surpassed our expectations. For the rest of this preparation, he is a winning chance in everything that he competes in. As a side note, one of the owners, Bryan, who lives in Perth, has attended both his runs. With the rain that we have had in Sydney he got off the plane on Wednesday morning and called the office asking if the races were still on because if they weren't, there was a flight that he could hop on to go straight back to Perth. That is commitment to the cause.

Grand Cause

Grand Cause winning at Rosehill

Grand Cause resumed at the midweek Kensington meet. Having been Darren Beadman's record breaking ride, if it had not of been for EI, the Group 2 Villiers was going to be his summer target. Winning an early trial but then missing a subsequent trial and some fast work due to the big Sydney wet, he was stepping out over 1100m. Unfortunately the big break was not to his liking and he has been sent back to the paddock where we will start again. We believe that the horse has well above average ability and will now be spelled with spring black type races in mind.

Loving It Again

Loving it Again at Conjola.

The highly promising Loving It Again stepped out at Kembla Grange on Thursday. The Canny Lad gelding raced extremely well in this first prep of 3 starts which included a 2^nd, 4^th and a 2 length 9th in town at Rosehill. Having matured well over his spell, he had to run on Thursday 14th over 1200m for fitness sake. He had a chequered run in transit and was allowed to coast to the line when it was clear that he was not going to run in the money. With a better run we could have finished much closer. He is a horse that has always impressed his trainer, Bede Murray. As his fitness improves, and he gets over 1400 - 1600m, he will definitely be a winning proposition.

Sightforsoreeyes

Sightforsoreeyes as a yearling

Sightforsoreeyes resumed for new trainer Darren Smith at Cessnock on Monday. Having previously been trained by David Hayes, reports were encouraging about his preparation so far from Darren. Under a very good ride by Darryl McLellan, he was able to cross from a wide barrier and sit one off the fence in the mid field. Rounding the turn, the jockey showed Sightforsoreeyes the whip and he charged at the line to just miss by a half length, finishing in third position. This was very encouraging as even though we knew he was making good progress on the training track, we know that he will be better when he gets over 1600m+, for which he is bred. Definitely a horse for your black book.

UPCOMING HORSES TO FOLLOW

Detention, Priceless Lad, Air Raid, Viscount Express, Superior Instinct, Magnification, Eight Bees and Regal Instinct are all at the trial stage and will be hitting the race track shortly. Honor in War is starting to be finetuned for his return to the track on March 8^th in the Apollo Stakes. He is working very well.

NAMED HORSES

In the month of January we had our last three horses of 2007 named. The fillies by General Nediym and Catbird and the colt by Anabaa now have their own monikers.

Fully Focused

Fully Focused - General Nediym / Focusing

She is sure to be fully focused on her commitment to winning for her owners. Fully Focused is currently in the paddock having a short break after a very encouraging jump out for trainer Chris Waller.

Congratulations to her owners Wayne Buckley, Kevin Larsen, Nick Clarry, Paul Ingerman, Ken Warren, Michael Ball, Roy Cunnington, Myles Henke, Dynamic - Fab 4, Fab Me Too and Fab 4 Ringo Starr.

Kaulana

                                                             Kaulana -Anabaa / Hawaiian Chimes

Kaulana means famous in the native Hawaiian tongue. Black book him because famous is what he will be. Kaulana is currently in pre training before making his way over to Chris Waller's Rosehill stable in a week. The above photo was taken by members of the Maggniffica Syndicate (well, Graham's kids actually).

Congratulations to his owners Grant Smith, Brad De Wit, Gary Robinson, Alan Bradley, Brendan Riley, Phil Stevens, Syndicate Maggnifica, Richard Crowley and Dynamic - Fab 4, Fab 4 Me Too and Fab 4 Ringo Starr.

Billina

Billina - Catbird / Evirene at pre trainer, Gary Nickson's

Billina is a character associated with Princess Evirene in the Wizard of Oz series of books. She is currently in training with Chris Waller after completing her pre training at Warwick Farm and is looking a picture of health as you can see above. This photo was taken last week by John and Mary Syndicate.

Congratulations to her owners Michelle Hill, John and Mary Syndicate, Derek Taylor, Noel Loader, Tri Loader, James Keane, Rocket Racing, Dynamic - Fab 4, Fab 4 Me Too and Fab 4 Ringo Starr.

SALES WRAP

At the end of January we attended the very successful New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka sale. A record breaking sale, we attended the sale with John Hawkes with the intention of cornering the market in the best athletic colts produced by Savabeel. With Dynamic Syndications having syndicated Savabeel, we knew what a quality race track performer he was. 

Dean Watt, John Hawkes, Wayne Hawkes at Karaka 08.

At the end of the premier sale we found ourseleves with three stunning, athletic colts by Savabeel and a Lonhro colt that was described as the most similar colt to Lonhro that the Hawkes stable had seen at a sale.

  Lonhro / Al Rosolini    Savabeel / About Town        Savabeel / Heat Storm       Savabeel / Nivarda

All 4 colts were purchased by the Tuesday evening, with shares available two days later on the Thursday. Two weeks later, we are now just left with 20% available in the Savabeel / Heat Storm colt. This colt is the colt that most reminded Dean Watt of Savabeel as a yearling out of the entire catalogue. See below in shares available.

Below are our sales movements over the next few months. After each day of sale action, information on the day's purchases will be posted on the Dynamic website. Log on and see how the day has unfolded. If a particular purchase catches your eye, email or call myself and register your initial interest.

DYNAMIC BREEDING

Usually in this section, there are a couple of stories about sires of Dynamic horses. Just thought I might change things around and write about some half brothers and sisters and brood mares of our Dynamic horses.

MULALEE

Mulalee, Mujahid/Zambalee, is the older half sister to our Lucky Owners filly, We're Lucky. At her third start back from a spell, she flew from the back of the field to win eased down by 4 lengths over her favoured distance of 1600m. Saluting at her 5^th race start, Mulalee has since earned her connections a cheque every second start from there on in, with 4 wins and 2 seconds. We're Lucky will be back into training very shortly and is blossoming into a very lovely filly.

CUT N' RUN

Cut n' Run is one for your black book. She is the half to Dynamic's Air Raid. Air Raid has to his credit, a 2 length 4^th to Mutawaajid and a 2^nd in the Magic Millions, 100K Maiden. He is currently a class 1 horse that has impressed in his track work and trials leading up to his resumption in the next couple of weeks. His half, Cut n' Run, a filly by Dash for Cash, has a wrap on her from her stable in Victoria. Keep an eye out for her name in a 2yo race in the next couple of months.

ELUSIVE GIFT

Elusive Gift, a bay filly by Elusive City from Nivarda, is a half to our just completed syndication, the bay colt, Savabeel / Nivarda. Elusive Gift had trialled twice, leading up to her race day debut at Kembla Grange. One trial was a close 3^rd to the first Sydney metropolitan winner of the 2007/08 season, Stripper.  Up against the twice city placed Coniston Bluebird, Elusive Gift looked to be putting up a mighty fight until the final 100m when the race experience and fitness of Coniston Bluebird just told in the end. While we are watching Elusive Gift in the coming weeks, Savabeel / Nivarda is about to commence his education process.

MATZUMI

Matzumi is the Royal Academy 4yo half to our recently named, Dictatorship (Commands/Damzel's Dream). With 4 wins and another 10 times in the money in 24 starts, he has been racing on the wet tracks in Queensland over the last month. He is incredibly consistent and having watched his runs, just needs a dry track and around 1600m and you can see him saluting the judge in his next couple. Dictatorship has impressed Gerald Ryan in everything he has done so far. If it wasn't for the wet here in Sydney, he would be at the jump out stage and is one for the black book.

PITCH

Pitch is proving herself to be a very nice broodmare. Prospect, Mujahid/Pitch, races in Melbourne and won on Werribee Cup Day last November and then backed that up with a win at Moonee Valley. In Adelaide, Jad Prince is a 3yo gelding by Delago Brom. He has raced 6 times for 1 win. Like, it would seem, most Delago Brom's, he is one that improves over ground and that is definitely the case after Saturday. Watch for Jad Prince over 1600m + once he is nice and race fit. Our Itchy Tiger, Hold the Tiger/Pitch is currently spelling and will be back in work shortly.

AVAILABLE SHARES

ATTENTION: ONLY 20% Remains of this Savabeel colt.

Savabeel / Heat Storm colt

At the Karaka sale, attended by John Hawkes and Dean Watt, the idea was to corner the market in the most athletic looking stock of the 1^st season sire, Savabeel. In this colt they certainly have done that as he is the spitting image of his sire, Savabeel. Out of all of the Savabeels inspected, Dean Watt suggested that he is the colt that most resembles his father.

Being bred on the Zabeel / Danzig cross is a head start in itself. This cross is running amazingly at over 25% runners to stakes winners. You are sure to strike oil if you keep drilling where it has been found previously.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I will be more than happy to answer any that you have.

DYNAMIC TRAINERS NEWS
