Dynamic Syndications runner
BORIS BADENOV (3yo gelding Magic Albert x Badinov’s Babe) faced the starter for just the third time in his career at Newcastle on Tuesday and broke through for a tough win.
BORIS BADENOV became Dynamic Syndications
381st Race Win since our first runner/winner in October 2005. Boris Badenov was our
136th Individual Winner from 164 Individual Runners
(83%). Also he became our
37th Race Win for the current racing season.
He won
Race 2 the
PINK RACE DAY Maiden Handicap 1300m.
Boris Badenov carried 57.0 kgs and defeated (2nd) 3yo g.
All Is Bright carrying 52.0kgs and (3rd) 4yo mare
Satin Safari carrying 54.5kgs.
The margin was 0.2 lengths x 0.1 lengths. Time 1:18.23.
He won
Race 2 the
PINK RACE DAY Maiden Handicap 1300m.
Having had just the one start at his first preparation over an unsuitable 1100m at Canterbury, the horse was sent out for a spell.
This time in he had his first run at Canterbury, again over the unsuitable 1100m trip. That day he drew the carpark and went back in the field before running on fairly.
However this time, he was up to 1300m second up.
Ridden by top young jockey
Tim Clark, the
Chris Waller trained
BORIS BADENOV who is an excitable type and has to wear ear muffs to keep him calm, played up a bit in the parade ring and was and worked himself up behind the barriers. However he loaded without any concerns but was slowly into stride, missing the start a length and coming out a clear last.
At the 1000m pole, Boris was back in the field second last, some 10 lengths off the leaders. He was giving
Tim Clark a torrid ride as they went down the side of the track, wanting to lay out and away from the runners underneath him, as Tim tried to improve from the 600m.
As the field swung for home,
Boris Badenov was clearly the widest runner into the straight and as a result was still about 4 lengths off the front runners.
As the field hit the 400m pole, they were all across the track in a charge of the light brigade formation, in a dogged fight to the finish line.
Boris Badenov wasn’t helping himself as he was wayward under pressure and changing lead leg several times through his inexperience. At the 50m, Tim Clark was able to make Boris focus and he drove him to the line. In a tight finish with still 4 across the track, the bad boy stuck his head out and won !
Tim Clark was interviewed upon return and commented that Boris still had a lot to learn and he was very wayward and wanted to do everything wrong. He commented that he thought he would win as they turned for home but the horse didn’t concentrate and made it difficult for himself. However he was confident the horse would win more races especially when the horse figures out what the racing caper is all about and Tim was adamant that Boris needs further ground.
That’s exactly what we wanted to hear. We always believed that on pedigree he wants a minimum of
1600m to 2000m.
By
Magic Albert the bred certainly appear adaptable and at 1600m they perform well. However it’s on the dam side of the pedigree we get excited.
Boris Badenov is from the
Twig Moss mare
Badinov’s Babe. She won at 1600m and she is a ½ sister to
BULLWINKLE who won 9 races from 1300m up to 3200m including the South Australian Derby
Gr1, VRC Queen Elizabeth Stakes
Gr2, South Australian St Ledger
Gr3.
Badinov’s Babe has now produced 6 winners including the 3 Stakes Winners:
NEW EDGE won 11 races to 1600m
PLAY TO WIN won 9 races to 1600m
VIOLENT WIND won 7 races to 2300m
Dynamic Syndications purchased BORIS BADENOV at the Magic Millions Sales in 2012 from Yarraman Park Stud.
He received his unusual race name, courtesy of his pedigree. Being from a mare who was named Badinov’s Babe and the fact that she was a half-sister to
BULLWINKLE. The villain of the
Rocky and Bullwinkle Cartoon Show was
BORIS BADENOV who along with his partner, the femme fatale
NATASHA, were always up to no good for their cartoon nemesis and hero’s Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Congratulations on their first win to our Ownership Team that race Bad Boy –
