“It’s a Barty Party” sky racing commentator Josh Fleming couldn’t have summed it up better.
Your very talented galloper Helluva Barty came from last on the home corner to blow away the opposition in the most impressive display in Race 5 at Doomben on Saturday.
Now it may have only been a BM 68, but keep in mind that Helluva Barty was only first-up and there’s a stack of improvement to come according to trainer Steve O’Dea who was on track to witness the demolition.
FASTEST FINAL 600M OF THE DAY
‘Helluva’ recorded the fastest final 600m of the day at Doomben, stopping the clock at 33.57 seconds – you’ve got to be happy with that.
“It was good wasn’t it. As I mentioned pre-race we just had to forget about last preparation where he simply never came up in those two starts.
“We knew he was much better than that and he showed that today, it looks like a really exciting horse for the ownership group,” O’Dea said.
While some Qld Rogues may have been worried about being last on the corner, jockey Justin Huxtable was always comfortable.
“A very impressive and dominant win” Jockey Justin Huxtable
SUPREME CONFIDENCE IN HIM
“Extremely wrapped, very very impressive and dominant win.
“Even though we were a little bit off them, I was always confident.
“I think he is going to take great benefit out of today and really go on with it from here” Justin Huxtable
A MILLION DOLLAR PARTY?
Helluva Barty had a “good blow” after the race but the early signs are that he pulled up well.
Steve will map out his next start and let everyone know, a possible goal could be the $1 million Syndicate on Magic Millions Day which is over 1100m – Now that would be fun!
Go you good thing!
