Chief Stipe Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The smile says it all as Opie Bosson returns on Danzdanzdance after her Ellerslie hitout. Danzdanzdance got the green light for a Sydney campaign when she galloped impressively between races at Ellerslie today. Next Saturday’s Bonecrusher Stakes was already off the grey’s programme and the Sydney trip hinged on connections being happy with how she galloped today, bearing in mind her disappointing last-start performance in the Herbie Dyke Stakes. A time of 58.25 seconds for 1000 metres and 34.55 for the final 600 told trainers Chris Gibbs and Michelle Bradley plenty, and that impression was backed by comments from regular rider Opie Bosson. “She felt very good, really comfortable,” Bosson told the Ruakaka trainers. “I can’t fault her.” Bosson had ridden Danzdanzdance in her Gr. 1 Captain Cook Stakes and Zabeel Classic wins, but was suspended for the Te Rapa race. “We’ve been working her mainly on the beach at home and she’s really thrived,” Gibbs commented. “She’s actually quite burly for her, which is good if we’re thinking of going to Sydney. From what Opie just told us, he’s keen to go across and ride her. “She’s booked to fly over on March 18 and her first race will be the Ranvet Stakes five days later. Provided she runs well in that we’ll head to the Queen Elizabeth Stakes. “I know that means coming up against Winx, but we won’t mind running second – it’s a $4 million race.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
