  • Statue's Angel

    This is the other horse I have a share in. I think I own both front legs and the tail of this filly. She was a problem child when she first came here from the South. Great trackworks but played up something fierce on raceday. She's certainly no Zenyatta but still gives me as much thrill watching her race. With a lot of patience and TLC from Nigel, she is starting show good form now.

    This is her race from last Sunday, probably equal to a 7f 10K Starter Allowance in DD terms, carrying 127lbs. The racecaller yet again is Shane (Polaris Bloodstock).

    Knoxville is topweight in the last race this coming Sunday. He should run well again after last month's win.

    Looks like she has some good stamina. I like a horse then can go to the front and hold em off...

      SA runs again this Sunday. Up in class (20K Claimer in DD terms) but drops 7lbs in weight and runs a furlong less than her last start.

              She is the stable jockey. Rides SA and Knoxville along with others in trackwork. Shane probably knows her better than I do, to my uneducated eye, she seems to lack race maturity.

                SA ran 3rd in the small field which will pay her feed bill for a bit longer

                  Shane says..

                  Nice to see you and to "touch base" at the races Norm.Statue's Angel did a good job today.She is a class or two below those horses at present.Her effort to chase them and run third was very good...and they ran fast time again.She is on the upward spiral,that is for sure..

                    Ditto Shane. Will be interesting next start, both SA and Knoxville run in the same race on Melbourne Cup day, combined 3yo/4yo race.
