Dare we live the Dream ?
It was exciting to see the
Maribyrnong Trial on Saturday but for the bob of a head,
REWARD FOR EFFORT would have had his first runner a Black Type performer when
RESULTS was desperately unlucky in the race, finishing
4th just 2.35 lengths off the winner and just .1 from third.
RESULTS is a 2yo Filly trained by
Shaun Dwyer (by
REWARD FOR EFFORT ex GUNDA BELLA) and was ridden by
Steven King.
There were no official trial form on
RESULTS to gain any indication on how the filly was progressing. However with such a good effort on debut we all know she can run.
Across in
Adelaide, the first 2yo race of the season saw
REWARD FOR EFFORT post his first placegetter when
SILENT SNIPER 2yo Filly (ex Cumulonimbus – by El Moxie) trained by Wayne Francis at Strathalbyn and ridden by apprentice Krystal Bishop finished 1.7 lengths off the winner and ¾ length off the runner-up.
Unfortunately it was a pull in the weights that may have cost victory for
SILENT SNIPER as her trainer elected to put a 2.0kg claiming apprentice on board who only took 0.5kgs of her 2.0 kg claim, leaving her at 54.0kgs whilst he winner carried 53.0kgs after their claim.
With no luck in the run and widest in the straight and not having the full claim, there is little doubt the result would have been very close, if things had have gone to plan and the full claim was taken.
So to have a placegetter and another horse run fourth (4th) in a Stakes Race, the future certainly looks bright for REWARD FOR EFFORT.
Then this afternoon, at the
Inglis Ready To Race Sale conducted at Newmarket,
3 x REWARD FOR EFFORT 2yo colts went under the hammer with exceptionally pleasing results, considering the conformation of each of these was not what could be fairly described at the top level of his yearlings by the sire at the sales.
