Playing By The Rules

Emma Reeves takes us behind the scenes each weekend, breaking down the programming decisions behind one of the stable’s runners.The Euphrates, Saturday 3rd October, Randwick, Race 7:I’m very excited about Sir Delius second up, over the right trip and on a wet track, but a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I was waiting for The Euphrates to get over 2400 metres before telling his story, so it has to be him this week.We purchased this gelding from the Tattersalls Horses in Training Sale in 2024 for 250,000 Guineas and he arrived as a well-credentialled Irish raider with a rating of 103. It often takes time for the Europeans to settle in, but some extremely unlucky minor setbacks meant he didn’t make his Australian debut until a month ago.Gai and Adrian were adamant that he would be suited to an expansive track, so we were forced to start him in the Chelmsford Stakes over a mile, a distance far short of his best. He exceeded everyone’s expectations that day, running a promising fourth, before following it up with an impressive win in the Kingston Town over 2000 metres two weeks later.He has won over 3400 metres at the Curragh, so we’ve always felt we won’t see the best of him until he gets to 2400 metres and beyond. He carries top weight and gives the extremely progressive favourite 4kg, which makes it tough, but The Euphrates will take some catching so Aethelwulf will need to bring his A-game.

Gai's Tip Sheet

WEDNESDAY 7th OCTOBER - KENSINGTONRail Position: TrueLOVE STORY - Race 1, 2.20pm, 1400m, A Hyeronimus, 57kgLove Story got her career off to a fantastic start when finishing second at Warwick Farm a fortnight ago. She’s taken plenty of natural benefit from that so we expect her to be sharper with the run under her belt, and she’s going to relish stretching out to 1400 metres so this has the potential to bring about plenty of improvement. Adam will be positive from barrier 7 to try and roll forward from there and establish her in a prominent position, and whilst she’s unproven on a heavy track she’s got form on soft surfaces so we’re confident she’ll handle the conditions. She’s taking on boys here which can be difficult but she’s an extremely likeable mare who thoroughly deserves to get her nose in front, so fingers crossed this is her day.SUPERFABULISTIC - Race 3, 3.30pm, 1400m, R King, 59kgSuperfabulistic is thriving ahead of her return. We’ve given her three trials this time in and we’re glad we did because she couldn’t have been more impressive when racing away to win her latest one by a wide margin, and this has put her spot on for this outing. 1400 metres is the ideal starting point for her as she was last first-up over 1150 metres and it was too short for her, so she should be able to get into a comfortable rhythm over this distance. Rachel struck up a brilliant association with her last preparation winning on her twice so we’re delighted they maintain the partnership, and whilst there will no doubt be improvement to come she’ll relish the cut in the ground and we see no reason why she won’t run a bold race to get her preparation off to an exciting start.WEDNESDAY 7th OCTOBER - GEELONGRail Position: Out 9m 1700m - 800m, Out 11m RemainderCOLD SHOWER - Race 1, 3.05pm, 2270m, J Stanley, 58kgCold Shower got his preparation off to a promising start when finishing a brave third at Flemington last month. He was in at the deep end over 2000 metres on debut but he fought on very bravely, only giving way in the run to the line. He has taken plenty of improvement from that outing so he strips fitter here, and we’re confident there’s improvement to come as a result. He’s going to be well suited by the step up to 2200 metres as all he does is gallop, and Jett knows him well so he’ll try to make every post a winner from barrier 2. This is an attractive race for him against his own age group and he ticks plenty of boxes, so we expect him to be hard to beat.
