Davis Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 There's a good story about Amazing Dream. What a great mare she is, speedy and tough, she never gives up. Well driven by Blair Orange, he won it at the start. Who knew she had such gate speed? Copied from HRNZ website. Amazing Dream and Purdon do it again 25 July 2021 , News By Adam Hamilton QUEENSLAND is a place most people go for a holiday, but it’s where Nathan Purdon goes to win Group 1 races. Purdon’s two trips to the Sunshine State as a trainer have netted three Group 1 wins. The first came back in 2016 when he trained and drove Ohoka Punter to upset Hectorjayjay in the Blacks A Fake. Purdon raised the bar this year, winning two Group 1’s – both with champion Kiwi mare Amazing Dream. “It’s unbelievable really. I didn’t think it could get much better than when I won with Ohoka Punter, but the past few weeks have been just incredible,” Purdon said. “I’m still a bit shocked we won this one, actually. I think most of us thought we were running for second, but things changed after the start. “In these very best races, it often comes down to who gets the best run and she got in the right spot again tonight. It was a great drive from Blair (Orange).” But Amazing Dream’s deeds cannot be understated. Not only did she win the inaugural The Rising Sun two weeks earlier, but her Blacks A Fake win last night was the first by a mare in an Aussie Grand Circuit event since Baby Bling in the 2013 Miracle Mile. “She a really gutsy mare, you don’t win a million dollars like her without being a champion,” Purdon said. “The big thanks go to Marc Hanover and Gordon Banks, who bought the mare, syndicated her and trusted me to train her over here. They’ve been great supporters since I first moved to Australia.” Just as she did in The Rising Sun, Amazing Dream effectively won the Blacks A Fake when – to the shock of almost everyone – Orange was able to buzz out quickly enough to get across raging hot favourite and defending champion King Of Swing. Orange then took the sit on Copy That and waited for the sprint lane, which served her so well in The Rising Sun. In almost a replica finish, she sprinted through the inside and just did enough to hold-off the outside horses, this time headed by Rockin Marty and King Of Swing. Copy That fought on well for fourth after burning to lead and then being softened-up by Expensive Ego through a 27.9sec opening quarter of the last mile. It was an unexpected first Aussie Group 1 win for Orange. “Obviously she wasn’t the horse I came here to drive, but it’s great to win a big one in different territory, especially for a great mate in Nathan (Purdon),” he said. Amazing Dream will return to Purdon’s Lara stables in Victoria before connections decide her immediate racing future. “Eventually the plan is for her to go to the US, but there are some nice mares’ races for her in Melbourne. We’ll get her back home and then I’ll talk with Marc (Hanover) and Gordon (Banks),” Purdon said. “There is the Inter Dominion at the end of the year, too. She’s such a tough mare, she’d be suited to a series like that if she stayed.” King Of Swing did a big job to finish third after being crossed at the start, then being checked and galloping and losing about 20m. “He didn’t get out as quickly as I expected … he did a mighty job to get so close considering,” driver Luke McCarthy said. “Thankfully, he’s come through it well and without injury.” Copy That returns home for a break and to prepare for the NZ Cup, but won’t return to Australia for the NSW Inter Dominion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Io e i miei amici stavamo viaggiando in diversi posti meravigliosi, ma un posto ci ha davvero sorpreso - erano i monti Sibillini... Lì stavamo sciando, incontrando le albe con una tazza di caffè aromatico e tutto il resto... così quando mi sono svegliato, ho deciso di cercare informazioni sulle montagne... l'ho trovato qui https://sibillini.info/ e io e i miei amici siamo subito partiti per un viaggio... È stato indimenticabile, lo consiglio. Makes a lot more sense than some on here! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sad to see no-one else has abided by the new law, very unfair hence Iv come back just this once to say hi guys. Still miss ya! Ps lol this is the 3rd profile I am posting from. But I have no passwords or log-ins from any of the others and I just got a new phone you know how I am and all lol. Better to keep up new accounts then harder for spies to keep up.

Hi my sweet mate Gammas, as you can tell Im full of rage lol. 2nd is 1st loser. Useless. I don't see it any different. Feel like the 7s team don't get it. Representing country at Olympics and unfortunately like with most sports their are work or sport politics that come into play hence back here voicing it plus miss you guys. Don't under-estimate the power of BOAY. Yes I have notified peeps of that whole Grimson/trainor thing. Disppoointed in the North Teams spectacle of what they call driving. Nope again not good enough. So much more to say, but will leave it at that. Iv got another horse now too lol. So have 3 now ecck Oh and what was driver on Spirit doing. Terrible. If I was an owner Id change stables. Like they were just trying to set KOS up. And then of course the other stable mate troubling Copy That stable driving at its best. So obvious. Oh and has Hunts admitted to being Paleface lol Edited July 28, 2021 by Karrotsisback 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karrotsisback Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I bet on The Dealer too Gammas. Always said if you check back on my posts that it comes down to draws. While Krug was the best of his age group I always maintained that it pended draws I was actually more specially thinking of the Dealer had he got a better draw than Krug he would win. And he did. Yip thats right. Go back and check folks. Dealer was always my fav. Know it all Karrots. Not know it all actually just observation.

Hope Fiji doesn't have too many big strong players like the blokes did....lol........... Grimson and Trainor still winning each week but you can bet every runner will be getting swabbed for a while . tried a quick Brisbane raid with a couple but failed . You have the wrong horse in the Queensland Chanpionship. Spirit of StLouis was driven by their stable junior Leonard Cain and got a flat tyre in the big shuffle up as KOS galloped. (Anthony Butt got 4 week suspension for that crossing too close with Copy That) You are thinking of Expensive Ego , who took on the leader . the third McCarthy stablemate. yeah I think he knew Anthony wasn't handing up and it took the finish out of Copy That alright. and the great AMAZING DREAM took advantage !!!! I got 40-1 ! wahoo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karrotsisback Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Yeah Jnrs did terribly. No excuses. Poor North Jnrs. Im meaning you.

Wanting to see Lous doing well, I was puzzled why driver of Spirit didn't come before KOF go ahead of him?? Then of course Ego goes to Copy that, and hard out. Hmm so 2 stable mates seemingly trying to hand race to KOS. Yet LOL KOS not good enough, even tho had an easy run in 1-1. Gifted to him it seemed. LOL. GO Amazing DREAM and N Purdon. Great win. WELL DONE. So good! Edited July 28, 2021 by Karrotsisback 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I see what you mean. Young Leonard was dragging back as KOS galloped inside him , and he still kept going back after. and Amanda Turnbull hit the back of him right back of field 2200m out ,and punctured the tyre then . Game over for him with that. Good on you with The Dealer !!! I was all over it . The Anthony Butt treble Tommy Lincoln-Tough Monarch (nice Oz trotter) into American Dealer to bring it home . $35-1 multi. I tipped it on another channel and got a couple of thanks. I'm thinking of taking down the Natalie poster and putting a Anthony Butt one, on my wall ? lol............ he's a bit ugly though lol...... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And great you admit terrible drive on Spirit. Why. What was the driver thinking? Oh no getting rid of a hottie hehe Oh I know you peeps have missed me. Even tho odd post and drink thing too funny. Honestly tho. So tempted to posts friends sons name 7s to keep eye on but will leave it. And hopefully he makes 2024 Paris, he deserves it and hopefully sees Nz to a Gold. Rage otherwise lol. You should post a thread Gammas on the new handicap system. Or even there is a particular good article on Lincoln Farms that deserves posting on how many open class horses there are left etc. Very good. Worthy of discussion. Ok nite nite my friend.
