IN REVIEW: Eagle Farm Saturday 12 October 2019

Race 1 - 12:18PM SOLID GROUND LANDSCAPING Class 6 Handicap (1800 METRES)

1st - Sir Barnabus - Jason Edwards - Michael Cahill

2nd - Tatcee - Chris Waller - Robbie Fradd

3rd - Polemic - Stephen Lee - Jake Bayliss

Trainer - Jason Edwards

"He had a jump out and two trials the first of which wasn't great on paper, but it was in quick time and he got through the line well, so I thought he could race well fresh."

"His first up run was really admirable over an unsuitable distance and the 1800 at Eagle Farm today with a good tempo suited him down to the ground."

"Mick (Michael Cahill) kept telling me during the week this is his race, he rode him perfect of the muddling speed and he'll only get better over more ground."

Jockey - Michael Cahill

"He's a versatile horse and when a few went forward early it gave me the ability to go back on him and wait to run on and he only goes better the further he travels."

"The track is holding up really well, I'd say slightly worse than a Good 4, but considering the rain we've had it's in good shape."

Race 2 - 12:53PM INGREDIOR QTIS Two-Years-Old Handicap (1000 METRES)

1st - Strike - P & P Snowden - Jim Byrne

2nd - Mishani Vandal - Les Ross - Jimmy Orman

3rd - Disco Lights - T & T Edmonds - Robbie Fradd

Stable Rep - Tom Quinn

"We brought him up on Wednesday and he couldn't have travelled any better he held his conditioning brilliantly and was on his toes today."

"He's a full to Boomsara so he has the bloodlines and his trial in Sydney was very forward, we were hoping for a performance like this and he's done it."

"He's a QTIS horse making it well worth our will to come up here and chase the bonuses."

Jockey - Jim Byrne

"He's not the best out but I just wanted to make them work a bit to get around him."

"In his trials it looked like he got a bit keen, but he relaxed nicely today and we just had to come off their heals and givr him plenty of room in the straight."

"It can do wonders for two-year-old's going away from home winning on a foreign track I think he will be a handy one."

Race 3 - 1:28PM CLAYFIELD COLLEGE FOUNDATION QTIS Three-Years-Old Handicap (1000 METRES)

1st - Howwonderfullifeis - Tony Gollan - Baylee Nothdurft

2nd - Ready To Roam - Tony Gollan - Jim Byrne

3rd - The Odyssey - Kelly Schweida - Jimmy Orman

Trainer - Tony Gollan

"I can't thank Ben Walker and the other boys for bringing this filly to me, she started at Toowoomba and showed promise and I've been the lucky trainer to get her as a three-year-old."

"I think the race at the Sunshine Coast really helped her. She had to race off the fence up there and wandered around, when The Odyssey got up to her today she kept kicking to the line. Had she been there on her own she may have thought about it too much."

"She's Magic Millions horse so I obviously want to get her there, what path we take I'm not sure."

Jockey - Baylee Nothdurft

"She's still got plenty to learn which is the exciting thing, I've ridden her since she first came on the scene and I was rapt to see her in Tony's stable and look forward to keeping the ride."

Race 4 - 2:03PM EATON SERVICES GROUP Colts, Geldings and Entires BENCHMARK 70 Handicap (1400 METRES)

1st - Park Chinois - Kelly Schweida - Jackson Murphy

2nd - Beat the Beast - Natalie McCall - Ron Stewart

3rd - Elixir - Les Kelly - Baylee Nothdurft

Trainer - Kelly Schweida

"We just put a line through his last start he got into and awkward spot and was never able to work into it."

"His first up run was really promising and it's good to see him bounce back to that sort of form today, I think he's in for a big preparation."

"We were a little worried with the inside draw and a lot of the jockeys wanting to get off the track today, but Jackson Murphy is riding with real confidence and didn't go around a horse,"

Jockey - Jackson Murphy

"Everyone was steering away from the fence, but with the run we had pocketed away it was the only way home for us."

"He travelled really nicely throughout it was just whether he would get a run and when they all went to the outside we had a free run to the line."

Race 8 - 4:38PM JUICED TV OPEN Handicap (1400 METRES)

1st - Rhyme Nor Rhythm - Lindsay Hatch - Corey Bayliss

2nd - Scallopini - Steven O'Dea - Steph Thornton

3rd - Spectroscope - Natalie McCall - Ron Stewart

Trainer - Lindsay Hatch

"It was a nice ride. We planned to ride him in the way it unfolded and it's just great to have him back from a knee operation and winning in town at his third start back for a loyal group of owners."

"He's been placed a lot throughout his career, with a few little hiccups on the way he really hasd to dig to get that done today I was impressed with his will to win."

"Tracy (Hatch) owns thirty percent so it's always nice to go home to a happy wife."

Jockey - Corey Bayliss

"He really knuckled down that last hundred and kept surging with horses all around him he wanted it most."

"I rode him last start where we were a little unlucky copping a check on the turn, but he finished off nicely and new he could bounce back if things went our way."

Race 9 - 5:15PM TAB BENCHMARK 80 Handicap (1200 METRES)

1st - Tambo's Mate - Stuart Kendrick - Jim Byrne

2nd - Deep Image - Rob Heathcote - Robbie Fradd

3rd - Snitz - Matthew Dunn - Baylee Nothdurft

Jockey - Jim Byrne

"It's probably not the way you want two dollar favourites to be racing, but there looked to be a fair bit of speed in the race and I just came out neutral on the horse and let him get into his stride."

"We had a few arguments in the run where he didn't want to do what I wanted him to do."

"He's a nice horse and has always shown ability he just gets a little bit excited and tries to travel a little bit heavy."
