Adelaide trainer Gordon Richards will spell Gr.1-winning sprinter Gytrash (Lope De Vega) after a “forget” run in Saturday’s Kingsford-Smith Cup (Gr 1, 1300m) at Eagle Farm. The rising 6YO gelding, who returned from a spell in which he underwent knee surgery to finish third in The Goodwood (Gr 1, 1200m) earlier this month, ran 12th in the Kingsford-Smith Cup, two and three-quarter lengths behind winner Vega One (Lope De Vega).
It was just a forget from the barrier, he copped the interference but he wouldn’t have found it from a better gate anyway, Richards told Racing.com. “He did work into it but then Savatoxl poleaxed him and he had nowhere to go after that anyway.
I think with more luck he would’ve been in the money, but he kept trying and wasn’t beaten far, so it was a brave run and he didn’t disgrace himself. He was a bit sore this morning, nothing bad, just on that firmer track.
