Leading Southland coach Nathan Williamson is looking forward to the coming months and has a serious horsepower for spring and summer races.
Star Filly Captains Mistress (CaptainTreachous) Will be back in the south next week.
After winning the group One New Zealand Sires’ Stakes Three Fillies Final in Auckland, she was taken to Queensland, where she reached a winning campaign. She won three of her four starts there, including the Redcliffe Oaks and finished third in the One Queensland Oaks group.
“She has trained for a few weeks at Grant Dixon’s, and he seems happy with her. The idea to get her back is so that she can have a few weeks to reactclimatize. She has a bit of a messy week of flying, so she will be on light tasks. We will build her afterwards.
Always dream (Bettor’s pleasure) Was a winner of two and three quarters of a length at Gore on Sunday, where the three -year -old broke a track record.
“I was dragged by without having to do too much work and he was too good on the day.”
Always Dreaming has won two of his seven starts this time and from eighteen career -start he has won seven and he has been placed seven times. Williamson says that the gelding has improved since he raced in Addington in June.
“We had complications when he was assumed and that delayed his progress in the southern supremacy and I don’t think he was at his best for a while. He was at Regan (Regan Todd) for a few weeks and in his last run he showed signs that he was coming back. He came home, had a bit of a break and is good.”
Always Dreaming will have his next start in the Ian Dobson Memorial-Johnny Globe Classic on Addington next Friday.
“We will see how he competes there. The Sophomore of the Sires’s Stakes (Addington 17one October) is the race that I have noticed. That racing took place Marktplaats and got the chocolates, so it makes it a bit cheaper. There is probably not much between the horses under the market, the chocolates and the possibility of Bar Louie and Rubira. “
Two -year -old merring pampering me (Downbytheseaside) It is impressed by Debut op Gore on Sunday when he ran home well for the second place behind Lizzie Borden. Enjoying me is not sweet to me, a daughter of Champion Mare worshiped me. Zoet on me won six of her seven starts, including the group one two -year -old Diamond and Group One New Zealand Sires’ Stakes two -year -old Fillies Championship.
“She’s becoming a nice mandrowling. Her ways were really good recently and I was very happy with that because she can be worked up a bit. The long -term plans are the commitment of the father and she is Caduceus Club eligible. We thought about taking her to Addington next Friday evening. We train her later in the week and get an idea of what we do.”
Stable two -year -olds of the canvas (Art Major) and palladium (Bettor’s pleasure) Qualified on Gore on Sunday.
From the canvas is from Triple SEC, making him a full brother for action major, the winner of four, and a half-brother of Justaseec (37), our triple game (17) and Brittnay Jane (17).
Palladium is from Platinum, a major daughter of the Lovely of three wins who won the Nieuw -Zeelandse Oaks, three -year -old Diamond, NZ Breeders Stakes, Queen of Hearts, Australian Oaks and Breeders Crown.
“I like both of them. I also take them to Addington on Friday evening for a bit of a trip and they race there in a non-winners of two-year-old event.”
Trotting mare hidden talent (Bacardi Lindy) Was a final start winner at Kurow. The six -year -old has won six of her ten starts this season.
“She goes to the test and then we will decide whether she will go to the Gift from Jasmyn (Oamaru 14one September) or directly to Banks Peninsula (DG Jones/Banks Peninsula Troting Cup). “
From only three starts two years old, Merrieveeulen Hertogin Maria (Father Patrick) Is unbeaten this season. Her victories, all in group three level, were in Invercargill, Auckland and Addington.
“We are planning to race her at the end of September. She has grown a bit the winter and still has some bulking to do in the spring.”
Utah Jazz (Bettor’s pleasure) Won her first three starts as three years old before he finished seventh in the two Nevele R/Macca Lodge Southern Oaks Final.
“She has had a small setback. She will only be seen in the fall.”
Ruby Roe (CaptainTreachous) After racing against the best three -year -old mares last season, it was held close to home. She won three of her six starts this season.
‘She’s going to the training this week. John and Katrina have still received her. She comes back here after they test. The merren races do not come to the end of September. She will have two or three tests she needs because she has done really well. She should have a nice spring if she entails her autumn shape. “
Secret agent man (Dear Lou) From just seven more than one and a half seasons of racing, three races has won. He last started on Diamonds Day in April.
“He is hoping again. He will be set for some of the grade races for Cup week. The south of the Waitaki is the one I have my thoughts on.”
Two -year -old merring tribes treacherous me (CaptainTreachous) Racet three times in the first part of the season, won once and finished second in her other two starts in group races.
“The plan is to go to Auckland with her. She is going to the training sessions this week and then racet the next Friday in Addington. Brett Gray and I estimated her and Miki’s deal to each other with a pacemaker in Ascot Park. She last handled it. She is a good careful Merry who will help them.
In the meantime she is crispy who (Captain Crunch) One of the finds this winter that all three of its starts has won, has recently been sold and will do her future racing for Redcliffe trainer Debra Belford.
“She was sold the week prior to her victory in Invercargill. They rest and will fly out in a few weeks.”
Williamson has a great season and is the leading UDR trainer for trainers with thirty or more victories.
