\"Gunsynd's<\/a>July 29, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the Glenn Richardson trained Succinite is by Amber Grey (GB), the two-year-old met six red lights as it aimed for the winner\u2019s circle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was worth waiting for the lights to change at Roma on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The chestnut gelding\u2019s cheque for taking out the QTIS Ezyquip Maiden Plate for Two and Three-Year-Olds (1200m) with Stephanie Lacy aboard exceeded the amount earned by the second placegetters at Eagle Farm on the same day.<\/p>\n

The $5.50 chance had shown potential by finishing fourth or better in its half dozen lead ups to the breakthrough.<\/p>\n

In particular were the pair of close seconds at Rockhampton earlier in the current campaign.<\/p>\n

Stewards reported that Succinite \u201cbegan awkwardly and lost considerable ground. It raced wide during the middle stages and laid in under pressure in the home straight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Galileo, Choisir, Flying Spur and the legendary Northern Dancer are some of the stallions listed on Succinite\u2019s pedigree page.<\/p>\n

Richardson part-owns Succinite along with his brother Lionel, his mother Glenda, Hannah English\u2019s father Frank and her grandmother Noelle Bartlett.<\/p>\n

Some Bundaberg Outcomes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First Bid proved there was no fluke about its close fourth in a Dalby Class 2 at 150\/1 earlier this month by chalking up a commanding victory in BM 55 company over 850 metres at Bundaberg on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Siderus gelding, raced by Barry Goodwill and his trainer Janene Armstrong, jumped with the field and led on the corner before running away to post a five length margin.<\/p>\n

The sprinter, with his trackwork rider Hannah Phillips in the irons, started at $8.<\/p>\n

The chestnut was stepping out for just the second time for Armstrong, an equine therapist who is based at Ballogie, a spot between Kingaroy and Proston.<\/p>\n

She prepared thoroughbreds at Mount Isa for a couple of years around three decades ago but her main involvement has been with greyhounds.<\/p>\n

Her most recent successes in the code were recorded at The Isa and North Queensland.<\/p>\n

First Bid\u2019s stablemate Storm Girl, a dual winner at Caloundra in November 2016, has not sported race day silk since September last year.<\/p>\n

In a few weeks time, Janene will saddle the bay up for her initial engagement for her new yard.<\/p>\n

Although the Richardson team also collected second place money with Sophie Wilcox\u2019s mount Eight Over ($2.70) in the Class 4 Plate at Roma, Bundaberg was a source of disappointment.<\/p>\n

Freeze De Beers ($7), Bel Seleva ($1.50) Stella\u2019s Dream ($1.80) all finished last while Beauty Secrets (Hannah English, $1.60 ) did fill second spot in the Maiden Plate.<\/p>\n

Kym Afford also had a frustrating outing at Bundaberg.<\/p>\n

His tally embraced second placings with Targets and Star Painter, a third with Rockshore and unplaced contrbutions by Gossiaux and Cyclone Mia<\/p>\n
