Glenlogan Park continued its domination of QTIS racing at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
Show A Heart youngster Show A Prince scored on debut with a turn of foot that only really good horses possess. He exploded from the back of the field to win by three lengths.
Trainer Liam Birchley has always held a very high opinion of Show A Prince. “I’ve always really liked this bloke but I am convinced he is at least a preparation away. He probably caught us a little off guard from what we thought would happen on his first day at the races.”
Jockey Scott Galloway was also impressed when he pushed the “go button”. “He has a big motor and, when he let down, he really flew. He has a great future.”
Birchley is determined not to push his promising youngster too hard at his first campaign and will now just take things one race at a time. “We will just see how he comes through this run before deciding where to step him out next.
“I’ve said all along he’s going to make into a better three year-old so we won’t jeopardize that by stretching him too far this campaign.
Glenlogan Park sire Bradbury’s Luck delivered the 3YO QTIS bonus when his filly In A Tangle came from last in a capacity field at Eagle Farm.
“We thought she would perform really well before she drew a wide barrier,” trainer Bryan Guy said. “It was a terrific effort and, considering the way the race was run, she did an amazing job to overhaul them.
“If all goes according to plan, she will target the LR Gold Coast Bracelet (1800m) before going on to the G3 Doomben Roses (2020m).
Glenlogan Park sires only had runners in four of the events run at Eagle Farm on Saturday but managed to claim three of them.
Falvelon was the other contributor when he chimed in with Fangles in the Open Class Sprint. The Steve Jones trained 6YO crossed to lead the field before being eased to take a trail.
Jockey Scott Galloway then squeezed Fangles through a tight opening in the straight and the Falvelon gelding did the rest.
Falvelon continues to deliver winner after winner every week and from just 153 runners this season is challenging Sequalo (210 runners) for second placing in the battle for Quensland Champion Stallion. Both stallions are attempting to bridge a big gap behind runaway leader Show A Heart.
