Nearly ran up that horses ass it was coming home so fast, then had to muscle its way past, if it gets a clean line it’s a photo for first.

Yeah. Horse seemed good enough, but like you said too far back. Came home strong, but I think the jockey might want that one back again if he could.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

follow it in the 1400m race if it runs or the mile race in the next few weeks
stable has a good opinion of it

I don't know how old you are but back in the 1960's there used to be a horse called Pirate Bird that used to get 20 or 30 lengths ahead of the field and try to win races,a real crowd favourite and to be honest it did win a few times.

I would have loved to see that, but a couple of decades before me!

In a heartbreaking week for the racing community, Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne and her brother, Cox Plate-winning trainer Patrick Payne, have announced the end of their training partnership.

The decision comes just days after a devastating accident in Meredith, near Geelong, where a horse transport truck driven by Peter Butler crashed, claiming his life and resulting in the loss of three horses. Emergency crews attended the scene, but sadly Butler could not be saved.
Payne Racing expressed deep sorrow, offering sincere condolences to Butler’s family and friends during this difficult time.

In a statement released Friday, the siblings confirmed their partnership will officially end on April 1, 2026. The move, described as a “thoughtful decision with the future in mind,” will see changes for both.

Michelle Payne will step back from large-scale training to focus on a smaller team in Ballarat, working closely with her father and maintaining a select number of horses.
Meanwhile, Patrick Payne will take full control of the main training operation at Plumpton, continuing under his own banner.
The pair reassured owners and supporters that their priority is ensuring a smooth transition for both horses and clients.

This marks the end of a significant chapter in Australian racing, under tragic circumstances that have left the entire community mourning.

Sad circumstances re the accident and death, but maybe the separation not surprising. When the partnership was announced Michelle said it will be interesting to see how the siblings coped with each other on a day to day basis. And of course Patrick is a bit of a loner, rarely going to the track, preferring to plan things from his Plumpton bunker.
Let’s see what unfolds.
