Progressive gelding See the World could head to the Ramornie Handicap at
Grafton after an impressive win in today's Listed Takeover Target Stakes
(1200m) at Gosford.
Allowed to find his feet during the early and middle stages, See the World was
able to reel in the leaders and score a breakthrough stakes success.
The win was the second in three runs for See the World - who between those wins
came from last in a field of 13 for a close up fourth in the recent listed June
Stakes.
Trainer Joseph Pride elected to send See the World (pictured) to Gosford, where he scored
his first ever win, after the race attracted ten final acceptors (later reduced
to nine).
"It's a big effort from this horse," Pride told Sky Racing World.
"He had to come from off the pace."
"He's been in really good form this preparation - it's no surprise to see
him get the money today."
"I thought the extra 100 metres was going to suit him more than most of
his rivals and the wet track isn't a problem."
"I was keen to come here to Gosford when I saw a small field and a nice
draw for the horse."
"Had there been a big field it might have been a bit too big of a task but
with a smaller field he doesn't have as much ground to make up obviously."
"It is a chance,"
Pride said of the Ramornie Handicap when asked whether the Grafton feature was
on his agenda. "He's not the best of travellers."
"He's in really good form and if I could we'd get a soft track up there I'd
definitely look at it."
"We'll just have to weight everything up - but he's a good horse on the
wet tracks."
Winning rider Christian Reith was delighted with the acceleration shown by the
five-year-old when called upon in the straight.
"He's really come back in great form this horse. Joe's done a terrific job
with him."
"Every start with him this time, even in his trials, he's matured and he's
a better horse."
"He's a good horse on his day and he's doing a lot more right this
preparation and we'll win more races with him."
Raced by Peter Horwitz and the Perry family's Greenwich Stud Syndicate, See the
World has now earned over $260,000 courtesy of his six wins and six minor
placings.
The Danzero gelding was purchased for $120,000 at the 2008 Magic Millions Gold Coast
Yearling Sale when presented by his breeder, the Sangster family's Swettenham
Stud.
One of four winners for the two-year-old winning and city performed Spinning
World mare Global Dance, See the World is a half brother to the group
performed, four time winner Boys on Tour.
Global Dance is from the Group One winning Kaapstad mare Love Dance and is
therefore from the same family as Hula Chief, Sir Midas, Tip the Wink and I've
Got Rhythm.
He is the 39th stakes-winner for veteran sire Danzero(pictured) , who stood for many years at Arrowfield Stud and is now at Rosemont Stud in Victoria at a fee of $11,000.
