Ride the Highs placed the fastest time of Tuesday’s Qbred-Triade heat for the two-year-old girls and trainer Lisa Pitt has warned that there is more improvement to come up with their talented younger ones.
The Victorian Merrieveeulen started shortage on the market and scored with almost 10 meters in a dominant display in the third heat.
The man-and-female team of Mark (driver) and Lisa Pitt have always had high expectations on their emerging mare tribe after saying goodbye to $ 20,000 to secure her at the Brisbane APG sale.
Ride the Highs is a daughter of Ride High, who rode Mark a handful of turning during his career, including a group 1 prize at Melton in 2018.
The Pitts have not done much to the north with their team in recent years, so it was first a factual mission with their anti -fools.
Lisa saw the offspring of Ride High Online during the sales process and with Mark’s close connection to drive high, the rest is history.
“We didn’t really intend to bring her back to Brisbane after we bought her,” said Lisa.
“But the money is too good not to take her up. They are hard to find because of this kind of races.”
The heats from Tuesday Leiden to the Rich Group 1 Finals that will be held in Albion Park on August 16.
Lisa takes care of the stables that dozens in the work in regional Victoria, while driver and husband Mark went north with Ride the Highs and stays in the barn of Mark Dux in the Sunshine State.
Lisa will ensure that she will be in the city later this month for the group 1 decision maker.
The Pitts hope for taking a traveling companion with Ride the Highs, who fell through, with Lisa who explained the long journey alone, was hardly ideal for the youth pacer.
In the heat of more than 1660 meters, Ride the Highs was particularly impressive in the final phase when she hit the border and took away from her opposition in her first glance at Albion Park on Tuesday.
“We were really happy with how she went,” said the trainer.
“We did not know how she would go because we have never traveled so far horses and she did not settle in 100%, she is a bit of a hot head.
“We hope that we will see more improvement in the final once she has settled well. She is really fast and comes off the gate.
“She didn’t have to do it in the difficult way, so we’ll see.”
Ride had set the highlights on the wall in Victoria that she would be powerful in the Sunshine State.
She recorded two wins and as many minors in five attempts in her home.
The 30-year-old Lisa thinks they have a potential star-in-the-making if the bay of Merrieveeulen can keep her at work.
“We have always liked her very much and it is much more difficult here because you meet some of Emma Stewart,” she said.
“We think she can go a long way if her posture stays good.
“She has a little too much attitude to leave her with someone else during the series, so Mark is with her for that reason.”
In the other two heats for the two -year -old ladies, our ultimate Kimmy claimed Jarrod Alchin and the local Ruby Rhayne Bow the victory.
In the boy’s division, the fastest heat went to fire and passion for the powerful Dixon team, while Barsby is drifted back for an impressive victory and fights the other heat for the victory.
The heats for the three -year -olds will be held on Friday evening in Albion Park before the final on Saturday of next week.
