From Fox..... Takeover Target misses T.J. Smith By Mandy Cottell April 04, 2007 TAKEOVER Target will miss the Group I T.J. Smith Stakes at Randwick on Saturday after contracting a virus. Trainer Joe Janiak described the setback as "only minor", but he did not accept with Takeover Target as he had treated the seven year old for the condition. "We had some blood tests done and they showed he had a slight virus so we had to give him some medication," Janiak said. "It came to light about three days ago. "We were hoping it would go away but it hasn't so, rather than take any risks, we thought it was better to scratch him now. "Hopefully it will clear up soon and we can start him in the All-Aged." Takeover Target's absence from the T.J. Smith is the latest in a series of setbacks for the globetrotting gelding, who has not started since scoring a brilliant victory in the Group I Sprinters Stakes in Japan last October. He went to Hong Kong for International race day at Sha Tin in December, but he was was withdrawn on race morning, by order of the stewards, after returning a positive swab to a banned substance in a series of pre-race blood tests. Last month, he pulled up sore after a gallop at his home track of Queanbeyan, but tests revealed that he had simply jarred up. Janiak said the latest setback was unlikely to hinder plans to head to Brisbane for the winter carnival, and later to Europe for another international campaign. "It's disappointing because it's what we've aimed him at all along and now this has happened," Janiak said. "But it is only minor."

Michael Rodd rapt in Apache Cat
Saturday, 4 August 2007: Michael Rodd declared it would take a sledgehammer to get him off Apache Cat after he outgunned glamour four-year-old Haradasun to win the Group Three Bletchingly Stakes at Caulfield.Rodd said he was confident a long way from home and was thrilled with Apache Cat's 2-1/2-length win over the $45 million entire who beat him at his last two Group One starts in the George Ryder Stakes and Doncaster Handicap. Haradasun, an easing favourite from $1.70 to start in the black at $2.10, was no match for the baldy-faced chestnut who shot away at the top of the straight. "I got to the half-mile (800m) and I was giggling to myself because I couldn't believe how well he (Apache Cat) was going," said Rodd who rode the horse for the first time. "He pulled himself up there three deep and when I let him go he was sensational. "He's got class and they might need a sledgehammer to get me off him now." Trainer Greg Eurell said Apache Cat deserved his win but didn't expect the margin to be so decisive. "To beat him (Haradasun) the way he did probably surprised me a bit," Eurell said. "But I was very happy with him leading into this as he was always giving me a good feel and what he did today probably only just highlighted what I have been looking at. "It was a soft win in the end as Michael didn't do a lot on him and he got to the line very well. "It looks good for the rest of the spring." Trainer Tony Vasil praised Apache Cat as a brilliant sprinter but said Haradasun was vulnerable today and would improve. "This horse (Haradasun) is now more mature and the style and manner he raced today showed he is now looking for ground," Vasil said. "He needed to have a run today but that horse (Apache Cat) is a bloody good horse over 1200 metres and was too brilliant for him." In the last two weeks Haradasun had been backed from $12 to $6 favouritism for the Cox Plate on October 27 but Michael Eskander's Betstar eased him to $8 after Saturday's performance. Damien Oliver was having his first ride on Haradasun and said he would be better suited over 1400 metres. "I was right there with (Apache Cat) but he really got away from me on the turn," he said. Apache Cat and Haradasun now look certain to clash again in the Group Two Liston Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on August 18. Vasil said he was planning to next run Haradasun in the Memsie Stakes a week after the Liston but now fears the horse may do too well with three weeks between runs. Eurell said he remained unsure about Cox Plate aspirations for Apache Cat. "It is always going to be question mark for him," Eurell said. "He's a quality galloper, no doubt, but it will be interesting to see once we get up to mile (1600m) what he does from there." Honalee ran another honest race today after finishing third last start in the Monash Stakes and again filled the minor placing 2-1/2 lengths behind Haradasun. Apaiser, who led early, finished fourth while the eye-catching run was Melbourne Cup placegetter Maybe Better who was tailed off on the home turn and ran fifth of the seven runners over an unsuitable distance, less than seven lengths from the winner. http://www.racingandsports.com.au/ra...asp?NID=109201

What do you all think of this?
Apache Cat may not venture beyond 1600m 6 Aug 2007 By Rob Burnet Cranbourne trainer Greg Eurell is seriously thinking of keeping his well-named galloper Apache Cat outside the weight-for-age spring arena once the distances reach over 1600m. Eurell said on Monday that he as going to have a think about taking the white-blazed five-year-old gelding to another Group I Tattersalls Cox Plate over 2040m of Moonee Valley’s tight turning track. Last year Apache Cat drew barrier 12 in the race and finished seventh. “I think that over 200m it is a bit of a stretch for him,” said Eurell, “I think he is better kept to a mile (1600m).” “All being well we will head to the Liston, and then we will sit down and work out where to go. There is a lot on offer with the Dato Tan, Torrak and Emirates on the last day of the Carnival. “There is a long way to go and we may give him a little ease up,” he said. On Saturday Apache Cat, under Michael Rodd, demolished the Group III, Bletchingly Stakes field, including the multi-million dollar sire Haradasun, by 2 1/2L without Rodd moving a muscle. Apache Cat had the race in safe keeping coming off the turn at the Melbourne Racing Club’s meeting at Caulfield, and went to a lead that was not remotely threatened. “It is interesting the way he is developing into such a strong horse when fresh,” noted Eurell. “He seems to enjoy his first up runs so much. Michael said that he pulled himself into the run. It was a very good effort. “Michael was quite excited about the way the horse went about it,” he added. Rodd was having his first major day of riding as a freelance jockey after stepping back from ties to prominent Victorian owner Lloyd Williams. Eurell said that Apache Cat, the winner of $1.6 million after Saturday, had gone back to the stable on Saturday and eaten everything in sight and then went to the track on Monday ‘bouncing around like he had never been around,’ The possible path for Apache Cat would be the $200,000, Group II, WFA JJ Liston Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on August 18th, $300,000, Group II, WFA Dato Tan Chin Nam (1600m) at Moonee Valley on September 15th, $350,000, Group I, Toorak Handicap (1600m) at Caulfield on October 13th and then the $1 million, Group I, Emirates Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on November 10th.

Is exactly what ive been saying for the last 2 seasons, Great gelding but the Horse & indeed his breed shouldnt go over 1600, some are made for distance & some are not , he's won enough without going over 1600 & there must be other races he can go for ? Breeders cup ?
