Another thing I have noticed lately is that Bruce Negus has ownership in a couple of horses trained by other trainers. -
It will be interesting to see how many they get for the Cashmere Plate. The CJC has taken it upon themselves to run one 2yo race since the Champagne 3 months ago. Obviously working on the theory there are heaps of 2yos just waiting in the wings until they turn 3 before they get going. The old model where they ran the Haldon Plate in July seemed to work ok. The Haldon often got divided too. But who are we to think we know more than the highly paid experts. -

When Robert Anderson had it, it didnt seem to have much confidence and just appeared to be a battling maiden! The last few starts that Bruce Negus has had it, it is upright and stronger looking and its last few runs have been super tough. Would be interesting to find out what Bruce puts the dramatic improvement down to, as it has been huge? -
Hey Brodie, Fascinating situation with Dancing Glenis that looking through results caught my eye also. When I think of Robert Anderson the horse that most comes to mind is Smooth Dominion who beat all but Iraklis at huge odds in the the 97 NZ Cup. He raced numerous horses of the Dancing Glenis breed including Sunny Glenis who won 10, Glenisthebettor who won 7, Glenis Maire etc. I always rated Dancing Glenis as a fairly average mare that may win a race at a lesser meeting one day, if everything fell into place. Not sure why she was transferred to Bruce Negus or if Robert has scaled things back. I watched a replay of Dancing Glenis beating Natives Inferno at Addington on the 14th July and was surprised. Not just by the win but the dominant nature of it. She's definitely turned the corner to the point it's almost as if she's a different horse. Based on what I've seen with her recently there's no reason she can't go on and win more races. Many owners / trainers with just ok horses will be encouraged by her recent turnaround to press on with their struggling ok horses. I wouldn't be shocked if Bruce Negus was fielding calls from others to take over with their ok horse.
