Good Win For Training Partners
The successful training partnership of David Brideoake and David Feek came to the fore again yesterday at Caulfield, with the impressive win of Griante in the Sportscover Insurers Plate.
Whilst she is not a top class filly at least there are no complaints about her consistency and while she retains her present form a trip to the paddock is not likely.
“There are some nice VOBIS races about that would suit her, we will press on, a mile looks to be her ideal distance,” said David Feek.
She handled the going well and was poised right behind the favourite River Delta, if there were any signs of that filly wilting she would find it.
River Delta was running on empty as the straight was entered, giving the impression she could not extend in the going, or is looking for a break.
Griante is by Good Journey, he stood at Cornerstone Stud in the 2012 season, but not advertised last season.
Good Journey is a more than useful sire evidenced by Happy Trails, a weight for age success, but generally has lacked the support he was entitled to.
The dam of Griante, Grand Strategy, is by Strategic, a former brilliant sprinter among the favourites at Darley .
