Triple Crown Syndications' Kwanza (Snitzel ex Macedonia Lady) scored his second metropolitan
win this preparation when taking out the New Zealand Bloodstock BM70 Handicap
at Caulfield on Wednesday.
Expertly piloted by Craig Newitt the 3yo flew the gates before
traveling very kindly just behind the leaders.
Some may have thought Newitt had
pushed the button too early on the gelding as he took off just before turning
for home, however the senior jockey had timed his run perfectly and got the
other runners off the bit and chasing nice and early with a 'catch me if you
can' ride.
Kwanza proved too strong as he powered down the straight
to clinch an exciting victory.
Kwanza has successfully earned a prize money cheque at each of his
five starts this preparation and gave the kitty another big boost for his Triple
Crown owners yesterday.
Trainer Mick Price commented that Kwanza relished
the Slow 7 track yesterday and it was another strong effort. He will now send
him for a very short break on the water walker before returning to look for
some further wins whilst he is in such good form.
Kwanza's win has continued the great run of success that Triple
Crown and their owners have achieved with the progeny of Arrowfield
resident, Snitzel . He follows in the footsteps of the likes
of Hot Snitzel , Flying Snitzel , Centrepet, etc.
