Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 15, 2023 Journalists Share Posted November 15, 2023 The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stable will saddle up the favourite in the 3YO Spring Stakes at Newcastle this weekend. The Group 3 3YO Spring Stakes (1600m) has brought together a quality field of 14 runners set to do battle at Newcastle on Saturday afternoon. The $250,000 in prizemoney has attracted a strong contingent from some of Sydney’s leading stables, with the Chris Waller and Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott barns combining for five of the 14 three-year-olds engaged. Invincible Spy has opened as a +300 favourite with top betting sites as the Waterhouse & Bott-trained colt seeks a third-straight win since debuting at this course on October 17. After a lacklustre performance in the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on Derby Day, Influential makes his return to Sydney for the Waller stable. Prior to that misstep, the son of The Autumn Sun was a dominant winner in maiden company at Kembla Grange on October 21. It seems punters want to take the chance on Influential recapturing that form heading into Saturday, as he shares the second line of betting at +550. Sharing that quote is the Gary Portelli-trained Kintyre, who arguably comes through the elite form-lines as he drops back in trip after contesting the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m). Until Valhalla (+600) proved too strong second-up at Randwick’s Kensington track on November 1, leading for the duration of the 1400m journey. Meanwhile, Just In Time leads the chances among the fillies and has been the early mover, coming from +700 into +550. The 2023 3YO Spring Stakes will kick off the quaddie at Newcastle on Saturday and is set to get underway at 4:05pm AEDT. 3YO Spring Stakes 2023 field No. Silks Horse Trainer Jockey Barrier Weight 1 Kintyre Gary Portelli Adam Hyeronimus 8 56.5kg 2 Influential Chris Waller TBC 7 56.5kg 3 Invincible Spy Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Tim Clark 9 56.5kg 4 Sly Boots Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Regan Bayliss 6 56.5kg 5 Jurisprudence Chris Waller TBC 13 56.5kg 6 Metallic Ruler Sam Kavanagh Chad Schofield 3 56.5kg 7 Heads You Lose Chris Waller TBC 12 56.5kg 8 Uncle Harry Paul Perry Reece Jones 10 56.5kg 9 Until Valhalla Ciaron Maher & David Eustace TBC 5 54.5kg 10 Vieste Benjamin Smith Robyn Freeman 14 54.5kg 11 Genzano Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich TBC 11 54.5kg 12 Just In Time Richard & Will Freedman Dylan Gibbons 4 54.5kg 13 Mah Ali Benjamin Smith Jay Ford 2 54.5kg 14 Kind Words Kris Lees Sam Clipperton 1 54.5kg More horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
