Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 1 Journalists Share Posted October 1 Warmonger ridden by Blake Shinn takes out the Group 1 Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm. Photo: Darren Winningham Mick Price is anticipating another strong performance from Warmonger when the gelding contests the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on Saturday. Price was thrilled with the four-year-old’s fourth-place finish behind Mr Brightside in the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at the same track on September 14, marking his return to racing after a dominant 10.4-length victory in the Group 1 Queensland Derby (2400m) at Eagle Farm in June. Training alongside Michael Kent Jnr, Price has pinpointed the Turnbull Stakes as Warmonger’s final lead-up race for the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) on October 19. “He’s on target,” Price told Racing.com. “He’s good and progressing well towards his ultimate goal. His first-up run was good, and he obviously appreciated the wet track. I’m expecting that he puts in a similar run. “We may not win, but he’s going to run well.” “The Turnbull is always an important lead-in race to the Caulfield Cup, and you need to be running well in it.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
