Dynamic Syndications galloper KING BING (Beautiful Crown ex Cherry Orchard) broke through for its maiden win at Muswellbrook on Monday to record Dynamic Syndications 51st win for the season and our 283rd win overall.
King Bing also became Dynamic Syndications 109th Individual Winner from 127 to race (85.8%).
Congratulations to the patient team of owners who believed in their horse and have hung in there through trials and tribulations to secure the win. We hope there are many more to come: Dynamic Syn (D Watt), Jigsaw 6 Syn (G Mason), No Look Syn (J Andreevski), Mrs A Edwards, Mrs S Merritt, A Bradley, R Carthew, R Lyons, CJR Racing Syn (C Deeb), G Rommell.
King Bing won race 5, the Two Rivers Wines Maiden Hcp for 3yo + C, G & E over 1280m.
Facing the starter as one of 14 runners in the capacity field, King Bing jumped well from barrier 6 and went forward to track the pace settling second / third behind the speed. The tempo was quick and the field was strung out over a lot of ground at the 600m.
Dale Spriggs allowed the Darren Smith trained horse to keep edging forward, getting closer to the leader and stalking it as they approached the turn. Sweeping around the bend 3 deep, Dale balanced King Bing and then attacked.
It became a two horse war down the running with King Bing on the outside and the heavily backed second favourite Full Turn refusing to yield on the inside. However slowly and surely, King Bing gained superiority and drew clear to score by half a length x three quarters.
KING BING as a 2yo
Dynamic had another runner in the race, Crack A Smile who ran on well from mid-field to run fourth. Crack A Smile wore the Red Cap whilst King Bing wore a White Cap.
King Bing was facing the starter for the 12th time today and broke through having previously run twice second and once third. Being a 3yo, we were keen to break his maiden before turning a 4yo becasue he is BOBS eligible as well and picked up the additional BOBS Bonus Money for connections.
King Bing is out of a Rory’s Jester mare and the Rory’s Jester breed are traditional duffers in rain affected ground. We believe King Bing is true to the breed. He is hopeless in soft going. His last 3 runs were on rain affected ground and he did not get sighted in those runs beaten a long way in each including last start, when 9 of 9 at Port Macquarie on a Heavy track beaten 10.1 lengths.
However we always remained confident that when the weather gods finally smiled and we were back on top of the ground, the horse would be competitive and this showed through in this event.
On a Dead 5 rated surface he was far more comfortable. Dale Spriggs who was on him last start told connections the horse is comfortable at this distance and up to 1400m and on a firm surface. He advised he was a happy horse today and travelled well throughout but was able to settle better in the run instead of wanting to get over racing early. He finished off the race strongly and now he has broken through, he could put a string of wins together and is one to follow over his coming races.
Congratulations to our owners. Your win was well deserved.
