Tony Gollan, the leading trainer in Brisbane, called Tenzing’s win in Saturday’s $300,000 Brisbane Mile at Eagle Farm a “career PB,” but he is uncertain about the gifted gelding’s prospects for the upcoming winter. “After today, I hadn’t really planned anything. Following Tenzing’s valiant victory over Miss Joelene ($4.60) and Lee Freedman’s $101 shot Encoder, Gollan declared, “This is a career PB (personal best) for him.” “Whether we continue or let him take a break now and return after the carnival… After this, I just need to see how his rating changes, and then we can arrange things.
Tenzing has returned a “different” horse this preparation, according to Gollan, who also won on Saturday with Hurts So Good and Rockribbed. “He’s really found his groove again after a lot of work for a variety of reasons,” Gollan added. He now has the quick turn of foot. I was desperate to bring him down in the weights when he was able to get those low draws. He can run quickly because of the small weight. Even though his sprint is merely a furlong or perhaps not even 300 meters, he does it quickly, and that’s what made the difference. ” Early in the carnival, he is a fit horse that can manage the cutout of the ground.
He deserves it, even if I’m sure there are other competitors in this race who will advance to better ones. She’s apples, and the ownership group supported me to run him in this event, and everything went smoothly. “I’m not sure how far he can go in the carnival; he might not go farther than this.” My favorite Given that the gelding often does best on soft tracks, Just Folk, trained by Victorian Gavin Bedggood, fell back to finish a disappointing fifth in the Brisbane Mile. Emily Lang extended her lead in the Brisbane jockey’s premiership race by leading Rockribbed ($4.40) to a commanding success against Hatchet ($6.50) and I Am Artie, giving Gollan another victory in the day’s last race. She is now on 52 wins – seven ahead of Angela Jones and Jimmy Orman, who is currently riding in Hong Kong.
