Lord Of The Sky Canters In
Lord Of The Sky made a one affair of the Procal Dairies Handicap, leading from barrier to box.
There was always big wraps on the youngster long before he raced, after winning a trial the asking price was $500,000, except the money never came to light.
Robbie Laing, the breeder and trainer of the youngster, was hung out to dry, there were no options left but to rally up his loyal troops to form a syndicate to race the colt.
A first up second at Werribee was hardly a confidence booster; although excuses were thrown about that he anchored down on the worst side of the track.
There were no excuses at Caulfield however, in form apprentice, Kayla Nisbet, had him quickly facing the breeze, he was so far in front of the opposition they almost lost sight of him.
Another run this time in before any firm decisions are made, it is possible the autumn will be targeted with the Blue Diamond Stakes coming in for some consideration.
Recent Moonee Valley winner, Miss Steele, didn’t finish the race off as expected, with her trainer, Michael Kent, believing she would be better off now over 1200 metres, that will have to wait for a while as she will now go for a break in the paddock.
Lord Of The Sky - Big winner for Robbie Laing
