Showing a Dynamic turn of foot, the Darren Smith trained and Nash Rawiller ridden 6/4 favourite FULL BLAST (3yo gelding Stratum / Bridie Belle) made it 2 wins in a row when the promising three year old crushed his rivals to win Race 6 at Kembla Grange on Tuesday afternoon. It was the Carlton Dry Class 1 Handicap over 1400m and the 3yo was asked to carry 57.5kgs against a field chock full of older horses.
Turned out looking immaculate by leading trainer Darren Smith, the Team Dynamic runner went to the start as a clear $2.40 favourite despite the weight and age differential.
Full Blast - Makes it 2 wins in a row
Nash Rawiller rode the perfect race as expected by Sydney's leading jockey and after they had travelled a furlong he had the horse positioned perfectly tracking the speed.
At the 800m mark FULL BLAST copped a check and became unbalanced and raced roughly for a few strides but Nash allowed the horse to come back underneath him and had him balanced again before rolling up behind them as they entered the straight.
Waiting until the 300m, Nash angled Full Blast to the outside and the horse cruised up to his peers before gaining the ascendancy and going on to score by a length.
Nash was full of praise for the gelding upon his return to scale and advised the owners that "the run was full of merit considering the interference" and he was "confident that Full Blast would run a strong mile". He noted that he still had a good blow after the run and would improve in fitness and also when he hit the lead he stargazed a bit which indicates he has natural racecraft improvement to come.
The first prize cheque and the BOBS Bonus on top was a nice result.
It was also a nice day for owner Dennis Shepherd who is also an owner in Dynamic Syndications runner SHE'S A ROCK STAR who had won earlier in the Day.
This win became Dynamic Syndications 276th win in the past 6 years and our 44th win for the 2011-12 Racing Season.
Congratulations to our owners - they have a promising horse
