Beadman And Freedman Chasing
AAMI Stradbroke Glory
TWO big names in thoroughbred racing will join forces
with last year’s Queensland Guineas winner
True Glo in a bid for AAMI Stradbroke glory at Eagle
Farm on June 12.
Champion jockey Darren Beadman will be chasing his
first Stradbroke on True Glo (53.5kg) for the powerful
Lee Freedman stable.
Beadman will ride True Glo in the BTC Sprint at
Doomben a fortnight prior to the Stradbroke. Freedman
has already tasted Stradbroke success with Danasinga
in 1996.
Another Stradbroke contender, Ancient Song, regained
her top form with a courageous second to the emerging
Besame Mucho in the Queensland Racing/Sky Channel
Gold Greenslopes Hospital Pharmacy Plate at Eagle
Farm on Saturday.
The five-year-old mare finished midfield in three
starts during the Sydney Autumn Carnival but now
is hitting top form in the build up to the $1 million
Stradbroke (1400m).
Besame Mucho drew well clear of Ancient Song inside
the 200m but the latter came back strongly near the
line to cut the margin to less than a length.
It was an encouraging performance from Ancient Song
considering she conceded her younger rival 6.5kg.
Ancient Song carried 59.5kg on Saturday but drops
to 52.5kg in the Stradbroke.
The John Power Handicap (1200m) at Eagle Farm on
Sunday is shaping as a critical Stradbroke test for
several contenders.
Confirmed runners include the unbeaten Kiwi Falkirk
and the Guy Walter trained Patezza. Like Falkirk,
Patezza probably needs to win the John Power - a
qualifying race for the Stradbroke - because he currently
sits 55th in the order of entry.
Walter has been very patient with five-year-old
Patezza, which has raced only 18 times for six wins.
The Rubiton gelding raced without luck during the
Sydney carnival.
Patezza finished only fifth in the Canterbury Stakes
but his effort was very good. He was last on the
home turn - where the early pace was moderate - and
a fast sprint home made it difficult for horses coming
back in the field.
