Mogumber Park owner Colin Brown likes to meet the market as much as any vendor but he wasn’t prepared to give away a Snippetson colt at the 2010 Perth Magic Millions.

Brown was acting under instructions as agent for Adelaide breeder Mark Crawford and, when bidding failed to reach a $30,000 reserve, he took the youngster back home to Bullsbrook

The colt was called Right Time and, two years down the track, it’s looking more and more like an inspired decision.

Right Time (3g Snippetson – Quite Right by Dolphin Street) boosted his bank balance to $258,000 after completing a winning hat-trick at Belmont on Saturday.

Right Time returns a cheque just about every time he’s saddled up and that’s good news for his diverse group of owners that includes Brown, Crawford and a Geraldton based crew known as the Gero Boyz Syndicate.  “There’s 15 of us in the horse and the majority are first-time owners,” Brown said.  “That’s what racing’s all about.”

A front-runner who can extend off a quick clip, Right Time is a 1000 metre specialist winning 5 of his last 7 starts over the minimum trip at Ascot and Belmont.  “He looked bright and alert in the parade today and is getting stronger all the time,” Brown said on Saturday.  “He doesn’t know how to stop and is very hard to get past.”

Trainer Paul Jordan will decide whether to try Right Time over a longer distance later this month or freshen him up and return for more assignments over 1000 metres.

Crawford transferred his dam Quite Right to Mungrup Stud in 2008 and her two year-old is a Danehill Express filly named Alrighty Then.  She is trained by Dave Casey and resumes after a six-month spell at Belmont on Wednesday.

The mare has a yearling colt by Danehill Express and is back in foal to him at the Great Southern nursery.

Quite Right is a descendant of My Serene (Sir Tristram) who was one of the best fillies seen out in Perth during the 1980s.  Trained by Frank Maynard for Keith Biggs, she won a Strickland Stakes, Burgess Queen Stakes, Belmont Oaks, Sheila Gwynne Quality and was runner-up to Lowanna Rose in the 1983 WA Oaks when it was a Group 1 event.
