Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 30, 2023 Journalists Share Posted July 30, 2023 Mick Price intends to chance his arm over spring with his undefeated galloper Globe (NZ) (Charm Spirit), with the goal of a start in the Cox Plate at The Valley. Price is eyeing off a start in the Feehan Stakes (1600m) with Globe at The Valley in September in a bid to gain the golden ticket into the Cox Plate (2040 metres) on October 28. “He’s a 90 rate, so weight-for-age could be over placing him, but if he wants to run in a race like the Cox Plate, that’s the path we could go down,” Price said. “He’s one of our most interesting horses. We did a DNA test on him and the perfect distance for him is 2000 metres.” “The Feehan is a win and you’re in race so that’s a path we will look at,” the co-trainer said. Price said his other option towards the Cox Plate was to try and win the Gr.1 Toorak Handicap at Caulfield on October 14 and hope he could secure a start with a win in that. Globe set tongues wagging over with his four wins from four starts by a cumulative 13.7 lengths. His previous two wins were all-the-way victories over 1800m at Sandown Hillside by four lengths on each occasion, with the last one on May 6. Price said Globe had missed a week after a blood test showed a virus, but he had bounced back since. Globe is out of Bonnie Doon (NZ) (Don Eduardo), who is a full-sister to dual Group One winner Booming (NZ). He was purchased at the 2020 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 2 Sale from the draft of Cambria Park for $22,000. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
