All Set for July Jet's |
| 02/06/2008 Author : Mark Bass
All Set for July Jet’s One needs to page a long way back in the History books to find two siblings gala along side each other in the Topping the boards is the current Met Champion Pocket Power . After a fast finishing 4th in the Astrapak, all eyes will be fixed on the favourite going into the Gold Challenge, where he bids to avenge his narrow defeat from Successful Bidder last year. As we are all well aware from his past, his feet have never been his strong point, but Mike has managed to keep this problem relatively at bay for some time now. Last Monday he pulled a shoe in training and went foot sore for two days which caused a bit of a stir in the camp. Greg Dabbs, our Cape farrier, was flown up to Testament to his well being, on Thursday he delivered a cracking good gallop for his Jockey Bernard who reported that it’s the best he has put up to date. After his Drill Hall run and his gallop last week he is now pretty fit and it’s just a matter of ticking him over until the Gold Challenge. He is unfortunately drawn badly again, but we are obviously expecting a big run from him here in this weight for age event over a mile, which was one of our key targets for him this season.
River Jetez signaled her well being by winning the Astrapak in a hard earned finish with Catmandoo. Her consistency speaks for itself only having run out of the places once in her 15 starts. She should come into the July carrying between 50 and a half, and 52 kilos and must be considered a lively contender. Anthony Delpech has been engaged to ride the Filly and she will in all likelihood not run in the Tibouchina stakes as previously planned, so the next time she meet’s the track will be on the official July breeze up.
