The fantastically named Roddandtodd (Charge Forward x Flying Flanders) was a class above at Bendigo on Tuesday. It is not easy for a horse to lead for the entire race at Bendigo, however Roddandtodd did it quite easily, showing us that he does his best racing when on the pace.
Last start Roddandtodd sat back at Hamilton but couldn’t make any ground – yet the start before that at Donald, he sat on the pace and was beaten about three inches. He clearly looks a horse that benefits from getting into a good rhythm, and when a gelding – especially a gelding by Charge Forward gets into a good rhythm, they are hard to toss.
Roddandtodd at Bendigo gave a perfect performance of what should happen when the best horse in the race gets the best run – they generally win, and finally after coming so close over the last year and 26 days, Roddandtodd demonstrated to us exactly what he can do!
