Wood & Edge

[rdytdy 4,612]

Great to see the Gary Edge and Chris Wood score another win with their nondescript bred galloper Wooden Edge at Te Rapa yesterday making it two wins from two starts now. The win gave Chris a double for the day after earlier winning with Pacorus, so well done Chris.

And good to see Gary Edge back in the winner's circle. A real character and champion bloke.

Hope there are a few more wins to come boys.

Pluck That was really good albeit he was the only winner in the race. Great spec buy at R 2 R by Andrew. Only paid 25K from memory

If you want to see a real performance try this about 1.28 min into the video. Pluck's Breeders Cup.

Don't worry there's a short attention span here.

Wooden Edge never stood a chance with the Purdon (sorry Latta) team there to send a sacrificial challenger to attack the whole way--in retrospect Gatu should have been alert to the likely scenario and ridden more conservatively. What say you Chris?

[Chris Wood 952]

My fault Chev, I was worried about getting blocked in, so I instructed Viktoria to go forward, not thinking that something wouldn't go around and we could have taken a sit. Wanted to lug out as well. Still a big baby, and I will check him over thoroughly over the next few days. 

I do think there was a sacrificial lamb out there that did its job though!

Big credit to the job you have done Chris and big ups for coming on here and being honest and not taking offense when someone asks a question.

Chris I thought your fella went terrific. Up in class and weight and he tried very hard all the way up the straight. I rate Viktoria. She has ridden the odd horse I have had shares in and rode them very well.
