🔥 🔥 RUNNER ALERT 🔥🔥
Tomorrow we have a massive day ahead on Balaklava Cup Day, with FIVE runners across two races!
The team has three runners in race 5.
Our first runner is a new addition to the team, Sweatband He had a long preparation before joining us and has been working nicely since coming into the stable. It will be interesting to see how he performs for the first time in Kluske Racing colours. He has drawn a nice barrier and will have Tala Hutchinson in the saddle. We’re looking forward to seeing what he can do!
Our second runner is Arc De Puissance.
He showed us plenty of promise during his first preparation, putting together numerous placings and looking like a horse that was going to win a race. After a good spell, he has returned in great order and has been working very well at home. Brooke King has elected to take the ride, and if they can get a hot speed up front, hopefully he can be flying home late!
Our third runner in the event is the evergreen Utah Joe. The old boy has been in work for a long time but is coming off a good jump out last week and been working well. He could be a main player in the race. Jemma Gutte has a great relationship with Utah Joe having won on him, and we’re hoping that can get the best out of him.
That leaves us with two runners in 8.
Our first runner In the race is Tydeus
He is an older horse who has recently joined the team from the Cornell stable. He faced a strong race first-up, so we’ve decided to drop him back in class and go up in weight, with Jemma Gutte taking the claim. He has been working well at home, and hopefully we can see him fighting it out the finish for the Cornells.
I Am Piki also contests race 8
She has been a little disappointing to date, but we are putting some of that down to the wet tracks and the fact that she needed to get away from the Morphettville track, where she had previously been trained. We’re hoping the travel and change of location can bring out the horse we’ve been seeing in her track work. Brooke King takes the mount, and we’re looking forward to seeing what she can produce.
A massive day for the Kluske Racing team.
Good luck to all the connections, and safe travels to everyone heading to Balaklava! ❤️💜
