The Damien Lane Yard will supply runners to Gilgandra on Saturday, August 19 with seven events to be run under fine conditions racing on a good (4).
1 ORLANDO JACK (Blks)
6 year old bay gelding (3-10-2011) Sire: Bernardini (USA) Dam: Pirate Rose (Al Hareb (USA)) View Pedigree Report
Breeder: Mr J Hirsch
Owners: E Hirsch
Colours: Gold, Black Motif, Collar And Sleeves, Gold And Black Motif Cap
The first of the stable runners will see Orlando Jack return from a spell in a BM50 handicap over 1100 m with Ms Marnie Toms the pilot jumping from barrier three.
Last time out the six-year-old gelding competed at Tuncurry when winning on that occasion ridden by Serg Lisnyy, with a 2.3 victory over Yatte Yattah.
He has won first up before but his form improves over distance, keeping in a similar class (BM 50) keeps him in a very competitive market.
4 SPINNING GOLD
7 year old brown or black gelding (26-10-2010) Sire: Waterford Road Dam: Comeinspina (NZ) (Spinning World (USA)) View Pedigree Report
Breeder: Mr P Grant
Owners: Grant Thoroughbred Holdings Syndicate (Mgr: P Grant, Mrs G P Kelly-Grant & D F Lane
Colours: Gold, Black Stars, Gold Cap With Black Lightning Bolt
Race five will see Spinning Gold compete in a BM50 handicap over a mile with Ms Marnie Toms aboard jumping from barrier 3.
Spinning Gold was last seen finishing 11 of 13 at Tamworth with the seven-year-old gelding arriving 8.72 lengths behind Alsoknownas.
Held safely in harder races at his last three, but he has run well the trip, & has placed on his only run at this venue, looks amongst one of the place chances.
2 BLACK COMEDY
5 year old bay mare (9-8-2012) Sire: Dane Shadow Dam: Quipster (Snippets) View Pedigree Report
Breeder: Holbrook Thoroughbreds
Owners: E Hirsch & Mrs M Hirsch
Colours: Gold, Black Motif, Collar And Sleeves, Gold And Black Motif Cap
Black Comedy will compete in a BM50 handicap over 800m with Kody Nestor aboard jumping from barrier (6).
Black Comedy was last seen on April 3, finishing 12th of 14 when arriving 7.6 lengths behind Still Undaunted on a soft seven with Greg Ryan aboard.
She has placed once in three first up runs, but is untried at this short trip and is probably a place chance at best on resuming.
Best of luck to all connected on Saturday at Gilgandra.
