Outstanding Local Pacer de Concierge (always B Miki) gave a strong challenge to be selected in group 1 Len Smith Mile of next week at Menangle when he defeated his five rivals in the Ladbrokes Open Pace in Albion Park on Saturday evening.
Inter Dominion Runner Up Speak The truth was expected to beat his polar drawing with the caretaker, the widest runner.
The truth spoke had no trouble holding on to the early lead and Pete McMullen allowed the caretaker to return to a one -off position. Gradually he started to go up, but it would be a tough task to race outside, speak the truth for the entire journey.
The caretaker will rise again on August 30
Speaking the truth ran his first two quarters in 28.5 and 28.6 seconds and seemed to cruise. The caretaker still fought with Jimartee in one out and one rear path that started to infect.
Showing great courage put the caretaker down the glove to speak the truth and while they turned the corner, the two were locked up. But the caretaker who gradually shows the real class clearly and he had to save a little more than two meters about the rapidly finishing Frankie Ferocious with speaking the truth in third place.
The general run of the caretaker for the mile was 1.51.2. The caretaker has now won 14 of his 24 Starts for just under $ 219,000 in money.
Pete McMullen gave his confidence in the caretaker.
“I had faith in a long way from home, he just feels so good.”
“He never feels that he is going so fast, he just does it that easily.”
This season the caretaker really shed in some of his races, but his victory last night and the way in which he defeated such a good performer spoke in the Truth Speaks Volumes for his ability. Trainer Chantal Turpin has always indicated her high opinion about the gelding and he should earn a start in the Len Smith Mile based on his most impressive performance.
Stable partner Dele Row was scratched by race because he was sold to Noord -America, the stable has four horses on the flight other three – La Miki, Nila Maree, The exciting (CaptainTreacherous) who won the opening. The four are all owned by the Canadian Mike Tanev.
