DESPITE the heavy clouds and cool temperatures, summer came early for astute trainer Richard Jolly at Morphettville on Saturday.
Richard believes he has a genuine Adelaide Cup horse in five-year-old mare Summery who had her first run since June for a shock victory in the Coffee Club Handicap (1200m).
An exciting new era in the horse racing in South Australia has drawn with the announcement of a major prize money boost for the industry.As of February 1st 2010 Metropolitan Opens will rise to $50,000 and juveniles, fillies and mares Open’s to $40,000 ( no metropolitan class will run for under $30,000).There will also be rises in listed races to increase from $70,000 to $85,000, and group 3 races rising from $100,000 to $140,000, Group 2 races increasing from $200,000 to $250,000 and group 1 race increasing from $300,000 to $400,000.
Midweek and Provincial races will also increase to $15,000 for Opens, with country Opens to rise to $10,000.
Richard started the race day at Morphettville with a bang on Saturday winning the first three races to get the stable off to a flying start to the new racing season that started on the 1st August. This treble was the second in as many months which has the stable on a high.
The stable broke a city drought yesterday Saturday 6th June, at Morphettville by winning 3 races.
Here’s five to follow with Kevvy’s cash
My search was limited to 25 trainers. I left out such up-and
-comers as Danny O’Brien, Chris Waller and Mick Price because
their recentsuccess means their runners are starting to go
around at prices similarto those of the Waterhouses and
Freedmans of theworld. My results were interesting.
Some trainers certainly weren’t as successful picked out five
trainers to carry thebulk of our taxpayer handout.Sure, some
people will think that using this money for betting is morally
wrong but thinkabout it. Whicheveroperator you choose to
invest with will have staff with feelings and families as well.
Apprentice, Libby Hopwood broke through at Gawler on Wednesday 13th August with her first win for the Richard Jolly Racing Stable.
Libby wearing the new stable colours, rode Mshindaji in race 1,Stallion Tender 3Yo&Up Mdn over 1050 metres.
The stable have just released the new design of race colours.After much anticipation we have great pleasure in launching the Richard Jolly Web Site.
We hope the new venture will give the users of the site a glimpse of the good work that Richard and the staff at the Richard Jolly Stable are doing.
PROBLEM child I'm Discreet wasn't kidding around when she walked in for an impressive six-length debut victory at Morphettville on Saturday.
But a goat may have played an important role in her early racetrack success.
Trainer Richard Jolly engaged Gundy the goat in a bid to prevent I'm Discreet box walking, a habit that could have cost her valuable energy before she even got to the barriers.
The unlikely pair no longer share lodgings but, judging by the ease or the two-year-old's debut win, the experiment seems to have worked wonders.
I'm Discreet was backed in from $3.30 to $3 on course ahead of her first public appearance. "I put the goat in the yard with I'm Discreet this preparation and they seemed to get along fine," Jolly said.
