Happy New Year one and all. Here’s to a great 2021 on the punt and with everything else.
After a profitable 2020, the clock now restarts and the pressure mounts again. I’ll start the year focusing on the Kensington (Randwick) meeting using the standard ten units.
Sydney racing selections
Race 3 – 1 Skymax (two units)
I am kicking off in the distance race with the top weight Skymax. He dominated in the midweeks last start and rates well. Harpo Marx rates okay and is going for three on the trot.
The Group 2 Villiers Stakes trophy stayed with Mark Newnham after the local conditioner combined with Rachel King for successive wins in the summer feature mile.
Greysful Glamour was too quick for them in controlling the race from start to finish to hold out the Godolphin duo Best Of Days and Criaderas and give Newnham and King another win after being successful with Quackerjack in 2019.
The good track was played very fast with Happy Clapper’s record in the Group 2 Villiers eclipsed while two horses went close to bettering Yes Yes Yes’ 1200m track record.
The majority of winners came from on speed but overall, it was a great day of racing with some outstanding performances.
