PRIVATE
STEER ranks as one of the most exciting horses racing in Australia after her
scintillating win in the Stradbroke, becoming the first three-year-old filly to
win this race since Dane Ripper in 1997. Dane Ripper went on to win the Cox
Plate and gain Horse of the Year honours as a four-year-old. The road to the
Toorak and the Cox Plate is the likely course to be taken by trainer John
O'Shea with his star performer.
Private
Steer started a clear favourite after her terrific run into second in the
weight-for-age Doomben 10,000. This time under handicap conditions she has to
carry only 48kg and her rider Glen Boss shed 3kg to ride her at that weight.
Private Steer settled about ninth in another big field led by NZ star Tit for
Taat. Much-travelled Into the Night, who ran a creditable race from a wide
barrier, took the field up to lead into the straight and held on well for
second, but was swamped by Private Steer. Diamond Dane followed Private Steer
through and finished on for third.
The
racing public said goodbye to local champion Falvelon, who could finish only
ninth, and Bel Esprit. Falvelon is to stand at Glenlogan Park Stud at
Beaudesert, and this popular horse is sure to have plenty of support in his new
role.
