McMullen’s when they trained used to have very weak finishing horses a decade or two ago. They used to pull hard and then stop but then again they were poorly bred even though they would win races at Parklands! MELTON was the prefix and they were trained I believe by John McMullen and Peter was driving them often, so he must've improved a lot from driving better stockz, -

Quirky but talented mare Miss Tarzy has come from last win the Leilani Series Final (1400m) under a patient Jett Stanley ride. The daughter of Tarzino was sent out a $51 chance but defied the punters in the last to close over the top of Sassy Boom who had looked poised for victory. Prepared by Anthony and Sam Freedman, Miss Tarzy has now won five of her 19 starts with a further seven placings but is usually seen to best effect at a mile and beyond. Connections have hailed the companionship of a stable pony in a key tool for managing the five-year-old mare. “She is obviously a really gallant mare and she always has been, so we never come here not confident with Tarzy,” stable representative Billie Rodda said. “It was really impressive to see her win over the 1400m today as she has never done that before. “She is quite a hot horse on her day and she has got a little friend called Jerry who comes to the races with her now that has completely changed her and that might have been the making of her today. “She likes a little bit of give in the track and she is just a gallant mare.” Jockey Jett Stanley said the mare had returned in fine fettle this campaign. “I jumped her out at her most recent jump-out and underneath me I felt like there was a lot of horse there,” he said. “She is very quirky and she has a stable pony that lives with her. Because of those quirks we didn’t want to bustle her early. “1400m was very much a query and she was first-up and up in class. She has proved to us that she has come back a totally different horse this preparation. “I had a beautiful run into it and went to get on the back of Cindy Falls but I was just moving too fast for the gaps and had to weave my way through them, which I think is what won me the race. She was able to do it without thinking she was doing it. “Once she hit the front she got a little bit lost but once I asked for that final effort she got me over the line.” An emotional Stanley paid tribute to much-loved stablehand Peta Tait who died on Tuesday following a tragic accident at the Cranbourne stable of Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young, with Tait well-known in the Victorian racing industry. “I want to send all my love to Peta’s friends and family,” Stanley said. “It is all the people in the background that make this sport so great and it is a huge credit to everyone for putting in the hard hours and the hard work.” Bred and raced in a syndicate by Rosemont Stud, Miss Tarzy is a daughter of Westbury Stud stallion Tarzino and the French-bred mare Grise Leigh. The dam is a half-sister to the Gr.1 Criterium de Saint Cloud (2000m) winner Morandi with Gr.1 Queen Anne Stakes (1600m) winner Lord Glitters also a decorated family member. View the full article -

Smart three-year-old staying filly Shockletz has overcome a wide barrier to win the Mahogany Challenge Final (2500m) at Flemington on Saturday under a well-judged Harry Coffey ride. Prepared by Ciaron Maher, the daughter of Shocking recorded the third victory of the campaign and relished the step up in distance, narrowly getting the better of Ant who made a dashing late run nearer the rails. “She was drawn really wide (13) and Harry was initially going to be posted deep but he rolled the dice and decided to go a little bit forward and he ended up getting the position that we exactly wanted,” stable representative Leigh Allen said. “One went around and put a bit of speed into it in the end and she just blended into the race nicely.” “She is by Shocking and is bred to stay, so the step up to 2500m was not our concern, obviously the issue was the gate and Harry did a great job. She has a great bunch of owners in Eales Racing, they just love her. It has come a lot too early for her, but to get another win at Flemington is great for them, so we’re stoked.” Coffey said he was caught on a limb early but elected to use the filly when a more forward slot became available. “The jockeys to the inside were aware of that and kicked up and it became quite awkward for a bit but after a while we were able to slot in,” Coffey said. “She rested for about 400m and then the pace came out of the race and she was wanting to go and was over-racing. “I just had to work with her and keep her in as good a rhythm as possible and then protect my ground so that when it was time to go I had room. “She actually quickened at the top of the straight like the winner but I wasn’t aware of the one coming on the inside (Ant) and she was probably emptying out and petering on her run and somehow she found the will to win and got her head down. “She relished the 2500m and if it was a truer run race from the 1000m I reckon she would have won even better. “She is on the up, she is still green, so there is improvement there and she is bred to do it and bred to race well at Flemington, so it will be a lot of fun for the owners.” Bred and raced by Eales Racing, headed by Laurence Eales who raced the filly’s sire Shocking, Shockletz has now won four of her eight starts with a further two placings. She is a full sister to Group Three placed stayer Horrifying, who has won on seven occasions. View the full article -
I always say the racing is ruined by too many in a race. they start to get in each others way a fair bit more than normal. With Many horses chasing a start in these Big money races this Month, they decided to start 12 horses every race instead of our usual 10. it just causes issues. there's traffic jams. USA is way best with 8 runners all the time . They all get a chance every race. even from the back of the field. is hard to get held up. Gus was enormous . He was at the back from his unruly position and 12 lengths from the lead a lap out and beat just half head at the end. A sensational effort looping 4 wide from the quarter way up outside Oscar B. and beat him by 2 lengths at the end. the Longer races coming up next 2 weeks will be more his liking too. A fabulous trotter. I have a high opinion of his driver Pete's driving which differs to yours , but that's fine. it's just opinion. I looked up his season record and they put last 10 drives there too. Pete McMullen had 1 win and 4 second places in his last 10 drives so just average I spose. Grants last 10 drives were a win with Leap to Fame and 2 x 3rds . so seems quite average as well 🤔 . Races are VERY hard to win Mr Galah 😅. these 2 are our very best still. Have near 10,000 race WINS between them . incredible stuff. for this season Pete has 480 drives for 116 wins so not too bad at all so far . Usually has about 1500 drives per year for about 300 wins per year. and Grant Dixon has about 1000 drives per year for around 150-200 wins so not quite as good as Pete. Pete McMullen taking about half as 'outside' drives from his own horses too , and Grant hardly any at all.
