Congratulations to the Dynamic Team that own and race the lightly raced 3yo DETTORI after the son of Hussonet from Stakes Winning Testa Rossa mare Sportivo produced a win over 1506m at his 4th career start.
Dettori had put up notice that he was ready to win with a luckless second placing defeated 0.3 lengths at his most recent start and up to a more suitable journey, the horse was too strong despite carrying 59.0kgs.
The Darren Smith trained DETTORI was well ridden by local jockey Peter Graham.
It was fabulous for the owners to record their first win with this horse who promises to be better suited as the trips lengthen.
Dettori had always given Darren Smith confidence the horse would be capable of winning races after he arrived from the Chris Waller stables unraced but having trialled well. He had no luck on debut at Gosford when left flat-footed as the gates opened. Then second up he was poorly drawn in a strong and large field at Scone over their carnival and was forced to go back in the field that didn’t suit. Then last start his second placing was very positive over 1400m. Out to the 1506m trip, Dettori needed every bit of the distance to graft out a courageous will to win victory.
Under the steadier of 59.0kgs and giving the runner up 3.5kgs and a head start, Dettori was headed in the straight and in the softer ground, fought tenaciously to overhaul the leader in the shadow of the post.
Whilst a photo was called for, the connections where never in doubt that the horse had won.
Followers of Dynamic Syndications will remember
DETTORI as a yearling – He had plenty of publicity because he was the image of a industry favourite in APACHE CAT. In fact prior to the 2011 Magic Millions yearling sales, he was written about in many publications because of his striking white markings and awesome “blue-eye”.
DETTORI is the second foal of his dam
SPORTIVO which is Italian for Sporting Champion. She was a handy racehorse winning 5 races and 11 placings from 1100m to 1600m and was a Listed Race Winner and was 4th in a Gr2. This is a female family that has been producing sprinter – milers.
Whilst the Hussonet progeny have displayed that they are comfortable 1400m – 1600m runners but certainly can get out over further distances. Bred on the proven Hussonet / Danzig cross the 3yo will be a much better racehorse next preparation with a touch more maturity but with the BOBS Bonuses only available until 31 July, the team are looking to rack up another win or two this preparation before heading for a break.
DETTORI became Dynamic Syndications
47th Race Win for this
2012-13 Racing Season and our
335th race win overall.
