Say From SA – February 17

We are beginning the preparation for the Adelaide Cup in a month’s time and the Birthday Cup is that race on this Morphettville card.

The Chairman
The Chairman Picture: Racing and Sports

In that very race, this has to be the chance for The Chairman to get on the board this campaign.

He’s been getting closer in Open Handicaps in Melbourne and Mick Price could well have targeted him as an Adelaide Cup hope. He is bred to run it out.

Also being a multiple Group placegetter he has already shown potential at this level.

Now nearing peak fitness, hope they ride him forward in the small field and take all the bad possibilities out of play.

Mick Price had another nice horse in the race but has scratched her.

Later in the day, there is another Victorian heading over who is a lovely, improving three year old for the future.

Won Ball graduated from a maiden at Geelong to score impressively at Sandown at the midweeks.

He didn’t win by a big margin but controlled the race near the speed and looked like he will only get better.

After the claim, he will be carrying less weight than he did at home and on a high limit looks a winning chance again.

Happy to be backing a horse who doesn’t know how to lose just yet.
