PRINCE REGAINS HIS CROWN
Promising stayer Prickley Prince returned to the winner’s list with a strong performance to land the Miss Kit Fashions on the Field BM58 Handicap over 2000m at last week’s Colac Cup meeting.
Settling well back in the field, apprentice Luke Cartwright had the 4YO son of Reliable Man travelling sweetly, especially up the hill down the back straight.
When the pair navigated to the outside of runners prior to the home turn, you could sense a powerful finish was eminent, despite the general rule that it is hard to run on at Colac.
A tendency to lay in slightly, was no issue in what ended up being a comfortable 2.25 length win.
With a big drop down in class after his most recent sixth in the Summer Cup at Mount Gambier and a lovely patient ride, he chalked up a second win from nine career starts.
Cartwright’s 3kg claim also proved to be invaluable; the youngster bringing up his 20th win after only starting his career late last year.
For Prickley Prince at only his third start this preparation, the gelding now looks set to tackle better races as Daniel explains.
“We will potentially look at a BM64/70 mid-week race, but nothing has been penciled in as yet. We just need to treat a few ongoing niggling issues and have him right before we head back to the races.”
His only taste at Melbourne metro level was a respectable fifth at Moonee Valley, his last run before a spell at the end of last year.
Congratulations to his owners!

POSITIVE RIDE, POSITIVE RESULT
Fortunate Kiss recorded her second city win courtesy of a positive ride by Jordan Childs.
Continuing a great preparation, Childs sat outside leader Imperial Lad before proving too strong for the opposition in the Nick Johnstone Real Estate Handicap over 1400m at the Australia Day meeting at Caulfield.
After an even getaway, Childs at his second sit on the mare took the opportunity to roll around the field and basically dictate the race from that point.
Moving clear upon straightening, she held tough to win by one length from a wall of horses including placegetters Paperboy and Jenny Jerome.
The win came off the back of a fast-finishing fourth at Moonee Valley over 1200m, the extra 200m of this win working in perfectly with the lovely ride.
Daniel was also appreciative of the ride.
“Yes, a great ride, probably the difference between winning and losing.”
The 2020 Classic Yearling Sale graduate has certainly matured with racing and has become more tractable as a racehorse.
From 24 career starts, the daughter of Divine Prophet has now amassed more than $320,000 from her four wins and four placings.
Fortunate Kiss will now contest the Group 3 Tressady Stakes over 1400m at Flemington on Saturday 17th February.
Congratulations to all her owners!

HE’S GODSPEED’S XMAS GIFT
Better late than never is always appreciated with any gift, but it’s so much sweeter with a
racetrack win.
For the owners of promising 3yo gelding He’s Godspeed a belated Christmas present landed
under the tree when winning The Midfield Group Maiden Plate at the recent Woodford Cup
meeting on our home track.
After leading and finishing fourth at his previous start at Hamilton, some maturity issues led
to the application of blinkers as he stepped out to 1400m for the first time.
Jack Hill who was having his first ride on the gelding was able to slot into a lovely trailing
position just off the leaders despite being three wide without cover for a portion of the race.
Travelling strongly before the home turn, the pair were able to surge and set up a break on
the opposition, eventually holding off a strong finish from Active Duty.
A full brother to our city-winning and stakes placed mare Fortunate Kiss, he had raced well in strong Maidens before this victory.
A debut third in May on the Ballarat synthetic behind subsequent Flemington winner Wiggum was followed with a first-up third in October at Warrnambool behind Flying Fizz who then went on to a Sandown win followed by a listed placing at Caulfield last month.
His third start at Moonee Valley was strong when beaten just over three lengths behind Oak Hill.
A $45,000 2022 Inglis Classic Yearling purchase, many connections in Fortunate Kiss reinvested and took shares in the younger sibling.
The next target will be a 3yo race over 1400m at Flemington on Jan 13th .
Congratulations to all connections.
