Dynamic Syndications honest galloper ELABORATE (4yo g Excelebration x Laurinel Argie) recorded a much deserved
win at Hawkesbury on Tuesday afternoon when displaying too much class for his peers in race 6, the Kurmond Social Class 2 Hcp over 1800m for his
Freedman Brothers training team (Richard Freedman and Michael Freedman) and pilot Jay Ford.
Jumping away well from barrier 3, the plan was to always be positive from the gate and roll forward in a race that mapped out on paper to have limited early speed.
However as is often the case, when speed maps present in this manner, connections of other runners often want their horses to lead and that’s how this race panned out.
After the field had run 100m, four horses displayed an intent to lead, so Jay Ford allowed them to cross and he was able to have Elaborate settle, tucked in on the fence, two pairs back in fifth spot.
At the 1000m mark, the rider of Blast who was sitting at our girth in fourth place, took off and injected further pace into the race which allowed Jay Ford to angle one off the fence into the running line as the field of 11 runners passed the 800m mark.
Jay had Elaborate well balanced and in a good rhythm as they approached the home turn and then pushed up to be just two lengths off the speed as they round into the straight.
Once balanced, Jay pushed the
“go button” and the
Dynamic Duo cruised up at the 250m to go to the front. Then they started to power away over the final 150m to hit the line hard held, recording a soft
2.55 length winning margin with a further 1.85 lengths back to third spot. They ran a slick time of
1:50.02 coming home their last 600m in 35.11 secs.

This was a
well-deserved win for both Elaborate and his connections after a nightmare run at his previous start, where that rider managed to be planted 3 deep facing the breeze, the entire 1900m at Gosford when favourite.
ELABORATE now has a race record of 20 Starts: 3 Wins; 5 Seconds; 3 Thirds & his earnings broke through the $100,000 mark to now be at $104,970.
