Owners of TAHSIN will be hoping the gelding’s impeccable 1600m record translates to another metropolitan victory at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
All five of TAHSIN’s career wins have come over a mile while his record at Warwick Farm is also encouraging (5: 1-1-2).
And trainer Joe Pride has been in a purple patch of form for Proven Thoroughbreds with two city winners and a provincial winner since April 10.
Four other horses will represent the black and lime green this week, including TAHSIN’s stablemate BROOK MAGIC, who resumes in a 1000m scamper at Randwick’s Kensington track on Saturday.
Upcoming Proven Thoroughbreds runners:
Warwick Farm Wednesday April 24:
Maiden 1100m
Joe Pride/Christian Reith
Comment: A hopelessly unlucky first-up run saw her climbing over their backs in the Hawkesbury home straight with no where to go. Goes from a provincial maiden to city maiden but can certainly win with a change of luck.
BM70 1600m
Joe Pride/Robbie Dolan
Comment: Finished third over this track and distance a fortnight back. Looks set to peak third-up and will appreciate the 2kg apprentice claim.
Wyong Thursday May 2:
Maiden 1100m
Joe Pride/Sam Clipperton
Comment: A hopelessly unlucky first-up run saw her climbing over their backs in the Hawkesbury home straight with no where to go. Goes from a provincial maiden to city maiden but can certainly win with a change of luck.
Wagga Thursday May 2:
Maiden 1400m
John Bateman/Tim Clark
Comment: A largely inconclusive debut at Wagga where he struck trouble in the straight and conceded ground. Looking for him to finish closer up to 1400m.
Randwick-Kensington Saturday May 4:
BM78 1000m
Joe Pride/Robbie Dolan
Comment: Super honest mare out to enhance a fresh record that reads five starts for three wins and a second. Some rain would greatly boost her chances.
Sunshine Coast Sunday May 5:
Class 1 1600m
Steve O’Dea/Ronnie Stewart
Comment: Rises to a mile having shed his maiden over 1400m at the same venue two weeks ago. Faces the notoriously difficult task of going from a maiden to class one company but is expected to relish stepping up in distance.
