FULL BLAST (4yo g Stratum / Bridie Belle) recorded an outstanding victory in race 8 at Wyong on Thursday afternoon when coming from well back and in heavy traffic to burst through with 75m to go and run away to score a 1 length victory.
Full Blast winning race 8 at Wyong 18/4/13.
Ridden to perfection by top hoop Josh Parr, the Darren Smith trained galloper was allowed to find his feet early and raced with cover until half way around the home turn before being shuffled back and in a tight pocket as they straightened for the run home. Josh had nowhere to go and was stuck tight until he bullocked his way out at the 200m and got balanced at the 150m and FULL BLAST began to lengthen stride.
With clear room, he gave his competitors a cold as he flew by to record a Class Record in the Geotechnical Systems Aus-Bm70 1350m.
FULL BLAST has now raced 15 occasions: 4 wins, 1 second, 3 thirds & $67,200. He has won at 1200m (2), 1350m, 1400m.
Congratulations to the Team that Race FULL BLAST:
Dynamic Synd Racing (Mgr: D Watt), G Macdonald, N Loader, D Shepherd, R Robinson, D Guthrie, M Watson, C Head & Dynamic Synd Full Blast (Mgr: D Watt, D O’Connell, D Knight, B Innes)
FULL BLAST had ventured up the highway to Brisbane last start where he was favourite and expected to win but was surprisingly off his game and finished last.
Back home at Darren Smith’s stables, our trainer was at a loss to explain the run as the horse appeared as bright as a button and nothing indicated the blow standard performance.
So we went into this event at Wyong confident of a good showing and expected to be very competitive. We were amazed to see the price drift out to 16/1.
Darren Smith -Dynamic Trainer
Darren Smith rang Dean as the horses were on their way to the barriers explaining that he was delighted with the horse despite the betting drift suggesting he had “lost a leg”.
Josh Parr rode the horse an absolute treat as we come to expect everytime. He is riding in great touch.
FULL BLAST recorded our
38th Win for the Season and our
326th win for Dynamic selected yearlings.
FULL BLAST was
DARREN SMITH’S 77th Winner he has trained for TEAM DYNAMIC – A marvelous result considering these horses end up with Darren after moving on from other city stables.
This win was our second victory in three days having seen NOTHIN' DOING score at Taree on Tuesday.
