February 11, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Aypeetee\u2019s November victory at Mount Perry, Nanango\u2019s Glenn and Hannah Richardson have had a frustrating run.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cancellation of the December meeting on home turf washed away an opportunity for the multiple premiership-winning unit to bolster the scoreline.<\/p>\n

The turning point was on January 11 on a soft track at Rockhampton when Weboughtazou, a new starter for the stable resuming after a three-month break, led all the way to account for the open handicap dashers.<\/p>\n

Last Saturday the Zoustar gelding contested the $75,000 event for non-metro winners at Doomben.<\/p>\n

He was not disgraced in finishing after making the pace with 60kg.<\/p>\n

The bay’s first chapter was written by Caloundra trainer David Vandyke with 28 starts earning $188,750 via a 6-10-2 formline. Four wins were registered at the Sunshine Coast, with one apiece produced at Doomben and the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

Another new acquisition for the Richardson unit in I Am Fearless ($12 into $7.50) prevailed easily first up in an 800 metre Warwick Maiden at last Monday.<\/p>\n

The bay by I Am Invincible had three barrier trials and a poor result in a Goulburn Maiden in December 2020 for Richard and Michael Freedman\u2019s Sydney yard.<\/p>\n

He failed at his next outing at Rockhampton for trainer Leanne Applewaite in April 2021.<\/p>\n

The Richardsons did exceedingly well to prepare the four-year-old for a confidence boosting win at its third start.<\/p>\n

The side has two candidates for Lee Park on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Noddy, having picked up a Benchmark 55 at Kilcoy on Australia Day, lines up in the Nanango RSL-Pedersen Memorial QTIS Class 2 (1000m).<\/p>\n

Informer, placed six times in 18 starts, is seeking a deserved breakthrough in the Nanango Bookmakers Association Maiden Plate (1200m).<\/p>\n

The Choisir four-year-old, having been on the podium twice in richer recent races at Rockhampton, is a discard from Kelly Schweida\u2019s Eagle Farm establishment.<\/p>\n

Two new Lee Park-based trainers will saddle up on Saturday, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Patrick Sexton, formerly of Oakey, is now domiciled in Nanango.<\/p>\n

In the Malcolm McCallum Class B (800m), he has an interesting contender in The Waiting Man.<\/p>\n

Bel Esprit\u2019s son, runner-up on a soft Dalby surface last Saturday, is raced by his father Peter and retired Brisbane lawyer Alayne Peterson.<\/p>\n

Jockey Gemma Steele will sport the all brown silks used by Peterson\u2019s uncle Roley Edkins.<\/p>\n

The livery was aboard his fine stayer Piastoon when it collected the 1926 Brisbane Cup and the 1927 Sydney Cup.<\/p>\n

The colours have also been Alayne\u2019s and were on show when her horse.<\/p>\n

Lord Sambeau was placed in the 1983 Doomben 10,000.<\/p>\n

Peterson made history in 1980 when she was the first female admitted to the membership of the Brisbane Amateur Turf Club.<\/p>\n

Sexton will also be represented by Ask Audrey and Run The Cutter.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Adam Briskey is kicking off his training career with the Maiden candidates AllJeed Up and Timely Reward.<\/p>\n

He will be hoping that his partner Nicole Vuille will bring him luck.<\/p>\n

She is to be congratulated on her success with The Angels Kiss ($12) on New Year\u2019s Day at Gatton.<\/p>\n

Pink Turns Blue<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the corresponding Pretty in Pink meeting last year, Hannah Philipps in pink silks booted home the Maiden winner Kitty Kat\u2019s Kitten for local trainer Janene Armstrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sadly, Phillips will be a bystander this time round.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett jockey broke and arm and suffered dental damage in a jump out accident at Toowoomba on January 25 when her mount\u2019s saddle slipped in the straight.<\/p>\n

In a split second, Hannah was under the horse\u2019s back legs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very lucky it wasn\u2019t worse,” Hannah said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s my first time I\u2019ve had a really bad fall in my eight years of riding professionally.”<\/p>\n

Green, Green, Green<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The lovely recent rain has produced plenty of green grass on the Lee Park course.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the Nanango Club President Andrew Green has been getting giddy mowing it, the environment will be a joy to behold.<\/p>\n

It is a great racing card.<\/p>\n

See you trackside!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
