Two wins in a row and 3 wins and once second from 4 starts is the imposing record Dynamic Syndications tough sprinter DREAM CHOICE has provided his owners and our trainer Darren Smith.

On Saturday afternoon the 15th February at Rosehill, Dynamic Syndications along with our vital team member Darren Smith (NSW Provincial Trainer of the Year for the past two seasons) (Darren is based at Newcastle) produced our exciting sprinter DREAM CHOICE to demolish his opposition, when winning race 8 at Rosehill.

Now that's a Win ! See how easy DREAM CHOICE made it look

DREAM CHOICE (5yo bay gelding by Redoute’s Choice ex Patou) won the ATC Matt’s Happy 50th Birthday Sprint, 1200m Benchmark 85 Handicap, ridden by Tim Clark.

who backed the "other favourite"

Dream Choice defeated Earnest Earnest and Express Power. The margin was 3.3 lengths x 1.3 lengths and he ran 1:10.77 coming home his final 600m in 34.95 secs. This time stands as a Class Record which is outstanding work on the rain affected surface.

Always extremely confident that DREAM CHOICE would run a super race and was very well placed in this grade, DREAM CHOICE opened up on course as a $3.80 equal favourite before sustaining an alarming betting drift out to $7.00, as the punters smashed the other fancied runner Mr. Jackman for Gai Waterhouse, before Dream Choice was supported in a late rally and backed into a $6.00 starting price.

Our race tactics proved to be spot on. We had planned to settle just off the speed, in a race that appeared to have several go forward horses engaged. Having drawn barrier 2, we had wanted to let the speed go and just tuck in behind them, about 3 pairs back with cover until the home turn.

We had anticipated that the way the track was playing (seeming to be favouring horses 3-4 off the fence) that there may be a stampede out to the centre of the track on the home turn, so we elected to stay closer to the fence and cut the corner, before rolling out 3 deep in the straight.

Tim Clark had reported prior to the race, that the track by this last event was uniform, so long as we were not hard up against the fence, it was playing fair.

Tim Clark rode the horse a treat, with a top display of judgement and poise and Dream Choice responded.

The race panned out exactly as we had anticipated on our speed maps. Tim jumped Dream Choice away well and pushed forward, to settle exactly 3 pairs back, tracking the 5 leaders in front of him. The positions remained like this until the home turn, where the field started to bunch and head wider but Tim bided his time and cut the corner brilliantly. Saving ground, he then set sail after the heavily backed favourite and race leader Mr. Jackman.

At the 300m, Tim let the brakes off and DREAM CHOICE dashed passed Mr. Jackman in a blink, to hit the front and then was shaken up, Dream Choice bounded away to go on and score by a ever widening 3.3 lengths, despite being eased down in the concluding stages.

Tim Clark brought Dream Choice back to scale to meet a throng of well wishes, delighted in what they had seen.

Tim Clark was interviewed by TVN and he commented how easily the horse had done what it had to treat his opposition with contempt.

“I knew I was on the winner before the 600m and I knew I would be cutting the corner and getting off the fence in the straight so they wouldn’t beat him” Clark said.

“I cruised up to that Mr. Jackman and went straight past it as if it was nailed to the floor”

Tim then reported to our connections (just like Nash Rawiller had reported the start before) that he thought the horse was up to much better company than this. “He’s going super and deserves to be aimed at something good over the carnival. He’s right up to that class.”

Darren Smith has turned our 5yo gelding around from his early days in a city stable.

He has now had 5 runs under Darren’s care. First up, he pulled up distressed after running on the Kensington track and was found to be suffering a virus.

After a short let up, and having the horse back in good health, Darren has raced him on another 4 occasions for 3 wins and 1 second placing and he has earned $122,900 for connections in these runs.

He won the first of these at Scone where he lumped 60.5 kgs and smashed a long standing track record over 1100m when running 1:02.52.

Then he came to Rosehill on a Saturday and got well back, before rattling home to run second just ¾ length to the in form Kencella over 1100m, closing quickly with every stride carrying 58.0 kgs for Peter Robl.

Third up, he went to Randwick and won with authority for Nash Rawiller over 1200m carrying 56.5kgs and then he followed that win, with this easy victory carrying 56.0 kgs for Tim Clark.

DREAM CHOICE has now had 27 starts: 6 wins, 5 seconds, 2 thirds and $233,285.

DREAM CHOICE is the half brother to our own Golden Slipper Winner POLAR SUCCESS and is living up to his pedigree and ability.
