Held To Ransom - 4 from 5 at Menangle!

[Brodie]

I note that Held To Ransom last started at Addington on the 2nd August, ran last and then went over to Sydney, and now being trained By Kerryann Morris.

Held To Ransom was only a fair horse that didnt impress that much as I can recall,  and was trained by Andrew Stuart?

Since it first start at the end of August at Menangle, it has has 5 starts and won four of them and the other one it ran 3rd!

Its winning times have been around 1.51 to 1.52 for the 1609m.

This is just another  example of how an average horse That has met their mark in NZ, can go over to Oz and have their racing life extended significantly.

If Held To Ransom can run 1.51 you can just imagine how quick some of our speedier horses here,  could go around at Menangle!!

Who knows how quick a horse that has never paid a divvie In 50 starts could go?

Alford transformed the horse once he got it.

Thank God for this because at least a handy horse can be on sold to make it more financially viable to own a horse in NZ.

Brodie, perhaps Kerryann Morris is a better trainer than Andrew Stuart? Mr Stuart has a few to the races but his UDR is not impressive?

I am confident the Spitfire could almost break the magical 2.00min mark, on a good day, with no rain, no temperature over 28, no wind, an inside barrier and perhaps a galloping pacemaker, oh and no retention barn restrictions.

I actually think Averos Spitfire could run a very quick mile at Menangle!

The thing is that it just doesnt cut the mustard As a racehorse in Canterbury, as it is so competitive.

Would win races in Oz around those small Tracks where most of the horses are pretty average.

We have many horses not competitive here winning weekly over there!
