His first 3 starts were very disappointing although running 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> in a Maiden Special Weight. In 2573 he went into a Benelux Owner Restricted MSW where he ran 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place with a impressive 82 speed figure. Last start over 6 Furlongs he won a Maiden Special Weight by 2 lengths.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><STRONG>2 \u2013 Hard Rock \u2013 Evens<\/STRONG><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Roar x Capote x Theatrical<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">This son of Roar is the favourite in this short field. From 2 wins in 5 starts he has earned just over $30,000. In just his 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> start which was on dirt Hard Rock broke his maiden over 5 Furlongs winning by 1 length. In his next start in an Allowances he closed very hard but still ran 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> losing by 4 lengths. Then the trainer decided he needed a try on turf and right indeed he was where he came away with a 2 \u00bc length win in an Allowance over 6.5 Furlongs with a 81 Speed Figure. Last start he tried Stakes Company for his first time in his career. He was very impressive over 6 Furlongs Turf where he ran 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> by just 1 length with a 81 Speed Figure. If he gets the right run he should be able to run well<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><STRONG>3 \u2013 Northern Rocket \u2013 5\/2<\/STRONG><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Forest Wildcat x <st1:place w:st=\"on\"><st1:City w:st=\"on\">Seattle<\/st1:City><\/st1:place> Slew x Buckpasser<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">&#8211; This well bred son of Forest Wildcat was bred over by Jockeymax and sent to the computer. In his first start he won a MSW over 6F Dirt. His next 2 starts were terrible on Turf and Dirt. He is bred for Dirt and I think if the owner should of tried a shorter sprint on dirt before breeding over.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><STRONG>4 \u2013 Kirby Country \u2013 5\/2<\/STRONG><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Cat Country x Fast Play x Compliance<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">&#8211; The #24<SUP>th<\/SUP> ranked 2yo Turf Sprinter by Cat Country comes to a stakes here today. Being raced 7 time for 4 wins and $85,000 this is probably the main challenge to #2. The trainer debuted him in a Maiden Claimer where he won that comfortably and then backed up with a Allowance win by 1 \u00be lengths. In his 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> start he won in his first Stakes Company attempt and looked to be something special. Last start over 6 Furlongs he won another Stakes Race by 1 \u00bd lengths with a 77SF.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><STRONG>Selections<\/STRONG><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><STRONG>1 &#8211; Kirby Country<\/STRONG><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><STRONG>2 &#8211; Hard Rock<\/STRONG><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><STRONG>3 &#8211; Flits Hollandia<\/STRONG><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four horses run for glory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"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":[2,3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews","category-reviews","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812","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\/53"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
