BTX Partners Review From Racing’s Biggest Day
The BTX Racing partners had a weekend to remember with multiple feature race wins. Ciaron Maher Racing were the stars of the show with multiple wins including stallion Griff in the Caulfield Guineas as well as sprinter I Am Me winning the $2M Sydney Stakes.
In what has become common practice over the last 2 months, CMR were joined by Waterhouse and Bott as the leading trainers on the day. Whilst Jon Bon was enjoying the tranquillity of the spelling paddock the team won another Group 1 race with Alligator Blood, making it 7 for the best son of All Too Hard and 6 under the guidance of the decorated team. They also scored with Military Mission in the Herbert Power and Raf Attack in the Gloaming Stakes, both Group 3s.
Justify On Top Of The World
Following the Australian card, all attention turned to Newmarket in the UK where the world’s highest rated two-year-old City Of Troy by ferocious sire Justify stepped up to Group 1 company for the first time. Winning the race comfortably and recording a rating of 125, second only to Frankel in the history of the race who recorded a rating of 126 when he won the race in 2010. The race victory was the precursor to the announcement that Justify’s 2024 American fee would rise from $ 100,000 USD to $ 200,000 USD ($316,000AUD). This rise in fee is a reflection of Justify’s progeny on the track in the last 12 months. The value of Justify’s stock is skyrocketing.
Make sure to get involved with Reasonable, reports already coming from the CMR team that she has developed significantly in the last 6 weeks both physically and mentally. She could be one of the rising stars of the Autumn.
