He's A Lumberjack and he's OK

[Weasel]

This horse Lumberjack made a big impression on me today at Ruakaka . Settled well back, got into the race quickly and exploded clear and looked like he'd get better as he went further.

Reminded me of the way Hasselhoof won some of his early races. Has a Derby nom; is by Redwood from the family of Cure (1000 Guineas winner and 2nd in a Derby) and Fix...sot here;s no reason to think he wont get 2400m. Currently $26 in the Derby...if he wins another couple he could make things very interesting come Feb/March.

You are right in believing he will get the 2400m, I think so too. A correction, he is not from the family of Fix or Cure. In fact, his 3rd dam Iwan is a full sister to Marauding. 

Has a full sister named Australia who won at New Plymouth 23 Nov. 2018. Trained by A Sharrock. She looks like she has real ability as well.
