Dynamic Syndications remarkable racemare TELEPLAY (Written Tycoon x Special Episode by Redoute’s Choice) is trained by Mick Price and Mick Kent Jnr and she is ready to resume at Caulfield this Saturday as part of a lead-in programme aiming towards two Group 1 events in Adelaide over the coming weeks.
The stable will present her well advanced thanks to a good foundation and perfectly positioned for this kick-off event.
TELEPLAY returns to scale led-in by Dean & Adam Watt
TELEPLAY has a race record of 14 Starts: 5 Wins 1 Second, 2 Thirds and $417,100.
She is already a
three-time Stakes Winner including a Gr3 Win at Weight-For-Age and she is also
Gr3 placed.
An $85,000 yearling purchased by Dynamic Syndications from the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale, TELEPLAY is a much-loved mare for her Ownership Team: Dynamic Syndications Racing, Mrs B J Zions, Mr R Bau, Mr T J Gore, Mr NR Evans, Mr P J Pollard, Ms J Mariani, Mr G Georgiou, Mr W J Noonan, Mr D T Warburton, Mr S J Brereton, Mr G B Medved, Mr R A Elliott, C J R Racing, Matrix Racing, Mr S Najda, Mr D W Watt, Mr M A Wallace.
TELEPLAY has a unique race record with the fact she has
won a Stakes Race at Flemington on Melbourne Cup Day the past two years in succession.
TELEPLAY winning the MSS Security Sprint LR
In 2018 she won the MSS Security Sprint over 1200m and in 2019 she won the Gr3 Maybe Mahal Stakes over 1400m.
TELEPLAY winning the Gr3 Maybe Mahal (Jim Beam) Stakes
Last preparation she was programmed to only to have a light Spring with just
4 race starts. After zero luck in her first two runs back from a spell, she then won her main target being the Gr3 Maybe Mahal Stakes over 1400m against her own sex defeating La Tigeressa and Sweet Scandal and followed that with an impressive win in the Gr3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes against the boys at Weight-For-Age defeating
Home Of The Brave and
Hey Doc (Hey Doc then at its next start won the Gr1 Winterbottom Stakes and followed that with a 2nd in the Gr2 Australia Stakes).
TELEPLAY winning the Gr3 Heffernan Stakes (Weight-For-Age)
TELEPLAY was given a short spell after the Kevin Heffernan, knowing we wanted to head towards two Gr1 assignments in Adelaide during their Winter Carnival.
TELEPLAY will face the starter in
Race 3 at Caulfield on Saturday, the VOBIS GOLD Sprint over 1200m with Mick Dee in the saddle.
She comes into this event at her prime. Now mature, much stronger than previous campaigns, she has continued to thrive and we are upbeat that she appears better than ever. After some pleasing trackwork, jump outs and a strong trial,
TELEPLAY is fairly forward for this assignment but will certainly improve with this under her belt.
We had nominated her for two races with the other being the 1100m Bel Esprit Stakes a Listed Race and this 1200m VOBIS Sprint which doesn’t carry black type.
It’s all about the right foundation for her Adelaide assignments and we believe the 1200m will suit better than the 1100m high pressure scamper that would have had her chasing from a long way out and be more testing which didn’t suit our mare's preparation.
The VOBIS Sprint is a set weights and penalties race. As a benchmark 105 rated mare, under this weight scale
TELEPLAY is better suited carrying 58.0kgs on a 55.0kg limit, especially as a winner of her 2 previous races both at Gr3 Level. However, Gr1 Oakleigh Plate Winner PIPPIE is a benchmark 108 rated mare and is also very well-in with the same 58.0kgs.
Through the Speed Map, this race appears to have significant early speed with up to five natural leaders engaged.
TELEPLAY is a mare that likes to settle early in her races and gets back worse than mid-field and then attack the line the final 200m, so it promises to be an intriguing event, especially if the race pans out as it maps because if they overdo it up front, it may set up for swoopers late.
This race will blow out any cobwebs and have her ready-to-rip in the 1200m Gr1 TAB Classic (Robert Sangster Stakes) Weight-For-Age on May 2nd and then on May 16th be at her peak fitness to have a crack at the Gr1 Goodwood Hcp over 1200m.
Already a three-time Stakes Winner (including two Gr3 Wins), whilst the Gr1 prizemoney would be welcomed, it’s all about having an well deserved opportunity to add Gr1 Black-Type to her race record before she retires to a life as a broodmare.
TELEPLAY has one of the best pedigree’s in the Australia Stud Book.
Her Dam SPECIAL EPISODE is a winning 3/4 sister to multiple Gr1 Winning Champion Sprinter FIRST SEAL (she beat Winx home 3 times as a 3yo).
FIRST SEAL (by Fastnet Rock) last week at the Inglis Easter Sale had her first foal sell and it was the Sale Topper at $1.8 million. The colt by Snitzel was purchased by Coolmore Stud as a potential stallion prospect.
