It’s an extremely satisfying feeling when a plan comes off.
That was the case on Friday afternoon at Canberra when the
BRAD WIDDUP trained Dynamic Runner CHILCOTIN scored a gutsy win when pushed to the post by a strong ride from
jet pilot Christian Reith.
CHILCOTIN wins Race 4 Canberra Friday 28/7
It was only a matter of a few weeks ago that
TEAM DYNAMIC paid just $17,000 + GST for CHILCOTIN at the Magic Millions Tried Horse sale.
Dividing the horse into 20 shares, he races for a
new syndicate of Dynamic Syndications owners and is prepared by outstanding young horseman
BRAD WIDDUP from his Hawkesbury Stables
PLATINUM PARK.
Since we purchased him, today was CHILCOTIN’s third race start for his new ownership team and he has now has recorded 2 wins and 1 third and earned $35,350 inc $10,000 BOBS.
Whilst having had no luck from the barrier draws picking up the car park on each occasion, the horse has overcome these enforced difficulties to score.
In winning Race 4 at Canberra on Friday, the
Melbourne Cup Bookings Class 1 & Maiden Plate 1750m,
CHILCOTIN and Christian Reith had to overcome barrier 12 of 12 and being trapped 3 deep at the tail of the field, 12 lengths off the speed, carrying 57.5kgs.
As the race panned out, Christian just got
Chilcotin into a sweet moving rhythm from the 1400m to the 750m where
Chilcotin was allowed to improve.
As they swung for home,
CHILCOTIN was pushed 6 deep into the straight whilst the leader had skipped 3 lengths in front and we were spotting it 4.0kgs.
At the 200m,
CHILCOTIN was closing but the pull in the weights and head start the leader had pinched still had that runner a length in front.
However with every stride
CHILCOTIN was fighting with determination and the margin kept closing.
With 3 strides to go
Chilcotin had caught the leader and stuck his nose out to claim a tough and well deserved win for his team.
This win continues a
brilliant early career strike rate for outstanding horseman and
“NEW” Trainer BRAD WIDDUP.
