Good race although at the end there were really only two who were going to be able to win as the rest of the field trailed by 5 lengths and more.\u00a0 Exciting race though as we have found some new 2yo possible champions here today.<\/P><H3>First<\/H3><P>Yes the winner was <STRONG>COUNTJEU(SAF)<\/STRONG> who led for much of the race and won it reasonably easily in the end after not really being seriously challenged towards the latter part of the race.\u00a0 Speed of 89 was his best performance to date and an impressive performance too winning by a length over the 6 1\/2 furlongs race.\u00a0 That was his third win and his second Stakes win in his short racing career so far.\u00a0 Looks good with that speed and is probably ready to move up to G3 now with this continued success at this level. Trained by <EM>safrace5<\/EM> and with earnings now over $119,000 this one is looking the goods.\u00a0 Watch on his next race out and see how well he does.\u00a0 Fantastic win in the end.<\/P><H3>Second<\/H3><P><STRONG>BELEQWAYA(IRE).<\/STRONG> Thats right he was in second place across the line.\u00a0 I didnt give him a whole lot of chance of performing but I was very wrong. Coming off two wins over 6 furlongs, he will probably like extra distance again as he was still closing when crossing the finish line.\u00a0 Big jump in speed for him up to 87. Trained by<EM> irishman2<\/EM>, that takes his career earnings to over $68,000.\u00a0 Coming from towards the rear of the field, he finished fast at the end cruising past third place and wanting that extra distance to challenge for first.\u00a0 Good run and a good race.\u00a0 Id be keen to see him run some extra mileage next time out.<\/P><H3>Third<\/H3><P><STRONG>DIGGINDAMAMBO(FL)<\/STRONG> was third across the line also coming from the rear of the field but some 5 1\/2 lengths off the winner across the line.\u00a0 Trained by <EM>vipersix<\/EM> and a speed of 79 which equalled his previous best run last time out. Also looking like he would like extra distance in my opinion. His previous race was over 7 1\/2 lengths but at G3 level so may prefer extra distance at this level instead. I dont know &#8211; hard to tell sometimes with the 2yo&#8217;s as you sort out what he prefers.\u00a0 Regardless was a good run at the Qld track here taking his earnings up over $70k.<\/P><H3>Other Rans<\/H3><P><STRONG>VOLLEYSHOT(JPN)<\/STRONG> and <STRONG>CHILL OF A DOLLAR(IRE)<\/STRONG> rounded out 4th and 5th place and the last of the ITM runners. They were only a couple of lengths behind third place after both were running near the front of the field early particularly <STRONG>CHILL OF A DOLLAR(IRE)<\/STRONG> who faded badly at the end.\u00a0 Other rans were <STRONG>ROAD RULES(AUS), ORO(ENG), COZY<\/STRONG> <STRONG>HILTON(SAF)<\/STRONG> and <STRONG>KASH WISH(KY)<\/STRONG> brought up the rear some 17 1\/4 lengths off of the winner.\u00a0 Maybe back to allowance company for these to freshen up, get some confidence and results back before another try at Stakes level.<\/P><P>Its interesting to see these 2yo&#8217;s come out at this level as sometimes you get some really good performances and thats exactly what we got with our first and second placing horses today in <STRONG>COUNTJEU(SAF)<\/STRONG> and <STRONG>BELEQWAYA(IRE).<\/STRONG> Congratulations to the ITM trainers and hope to see you back again next week.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only A and B came in as a 2 horse race ran out this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6803\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
