APAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHE!
Cat unbackable in Australia Stakes dash Story by Gary Crispe Saturday, 16 February 2008: Top galloper Apache Cat has become so popular punters will be hard pressed to find him a betting proposition, including today's feature Group 1 Timbercorp Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley. The good looking and seemingly bombproof chestnut , now into flip of the coin odds for the feature weight-for-age sprint, looks the one to beat and bookmakers know it, happy to keep the screws on the gelding hoping punters will take the short odds.While she has become somewhat maligned over the last 12 months, Miss Finland might prove the value runner in a moderate version of the race with few genuine weight-for-age performers. The mare, prepared by David Hayes, hasn't won since her fresh-up run of the spring but that statistic is unfair alone, as she hasn't been out of the top echelon and was tested as a stayer. The consequences seemed to be she lost her dash but back in today's sprint race she gets the chance to show her excellent turn of foot – which made her such a formidable opponent in easier seasons. Her best few wins – the Golden Slipper, the Thousand Guineas, the Cadbury Guineas and Memsie Stakes – she displayed a superior turn of foot and hit the line hard from back in the field. Over 1200m today, there's little doubt she will be among the tailenders but with the rail true and the cambered turn as a launching pad she can be running into the finish. At Moonee Valley she has raced only twice and both were in Cox Plates, where she was luckless between runners the first time and raced on the pace last year so we have yet to see her charge home there. But real Miss Finland can step up tomorrow and silence her knockers. Hayes has opted for a rider change, which in itself won't improve her at all but may prove a masterstroke. From barrier 11 new rider Steven Arnold will be beaten for early speed but biding his time with cover and poised to hit the camber out wide. In the straight, when the squibs are shortening stride, there's little doubt she won't be motoring home late. Her first-up run, over 1000m up the straight at Flemington in the Lightning Stakes, she tried to stay with them and looked under pressure a long way out but knuckled strongly to finish fifth, to her credit beaten just over two lengths by Apache Cat. Today the extra 200m is ideal, the track should suit as generally the winners will be away from the fence when the rail is true and at the each-way odds she looks a solid bet to be running home into the finish. There's no doubt Apache Cat is the horse to beat but he may in fact be drawn to disadvantage in barrier two. Like Miss Finland, he will be drifting back as he won't have the early pace to go with the likes of Dance Hero and Monet Rules. But as the field bunches jockey Corey Brown will be wanting to get off the fence and rolling into the race, much the same way Miss Andretti did last year before she “drops on them like a bomb” like racecaller Terry Bailey commented. At even money, and the real prospect he will be needing a run, this may be the race Apache Cat is worth risking. He has so many things in his favour he has become unbackable. He's genuine, flies early in his campaign, has drawn (seemingly) well, his form at the track is much better than appears and has an in-form jockey and trainer. It's worth noting only two favourites have won the race in the last 10 years. Another who looks good odds is the Lee Freedman-trained Sonic Quest. The leading trainer and jockey Danny Nikolic both predicted a big race win for the lightly-raced gelding after he won the Group 2 Crystal Mile here last spring and their words are worth heeding. Following that win he raced in the Group 1 Emirates Stakes and in a race full of disappointing runs he ran below his best, finishing eighth behind Tears I Cry. It's worth noting though he excels fresh, and last campaign scored a big win at Caulfield over this journey beating Stanzout. He is a winner at his only try at the track, his only try at the distance and has drawn for a good run on the inside for Damien Oliver. With the right run he can feature in the finish at double figure odds and he is a horse that is expected to be improved this campaign. Let Go Thommo is an honest sprinter who was a last start track and distance winner over Maldivian. This is tougher again but he can only be fitter, regular rider Steven King stays aboard and he should be thereabouts again. Stanzout, with new rider Craig Williams aboard, looks hard to hold out on his run in the Lightning when a fast finishing third. The extra trip suits and has a good second-up record. Dance Hero, the likely leader in the race, is obviously far better than his last start last in Listed grade behind Takeover Target. He worked well at the track on Tuesday and did finish runner-up behind Miss Andretti in one of his two starts at the track in the Manikato Stakes. He will give a big sight and on his best form will prove hard to catch.

Very nice, Magic Man. This was the last thing I could find on him... Cat On Target For Mighty Clash Story By Jason Hickson Wednesday, 2 April 2008: Trainer Greg Eurell is confident Apache Cat is on target for a successful return to racing in Sydney later this month. The popular galloper had just two starts in the early autumn, winning both the Group 1 Lightning Stakes (1000m) down the straight at Flemington and the Group 1 Australia Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley. Eurell is adamant the gelding excels early in his campaign so didn't go beyond the two starts in February and will produce him fresh from a break in the Group 1 Sydney City Lexus T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on April 26. Boasting four Group 1 races, the day is expected to be one of the highlights of the season and may see a clash between Apache Cat and champion sprinter Takeover Target in the sprint. That clash is likely to continue to Queensland where the pair may meet in the BTC Cup and Doomben 10,000. “We're really focusing on just the one run in Sydney then heading up to Brisbane,” Eurell said. “It will make it interesting (against Takeover Target) and could end up quite strong competition.” Eurell said he will give Apache Cat an 800m trial next week before preparing to go to Sydney, where Corey Brown is expected to ride. The Cranbourne trainer said the Stradbroke Handicap would be out of the question as Apache Cat would be weighted too highly, but set out a more ambitious program later in the year. Eurell said he may participate in early spring races before two Group 1 sprints in Japan in September and October as part of the Global Sprint Challenge – the Centaur Stakes and Sprinters Stakes. “They are a couple of sprint races with extremely good prizemoney,” Eurell said. “And they probably slot into his program well.”

Apache Cat on target for Takeover.
Apache Cat leaves Victoria on Wednesday bound for Sydney and a clash with star sprinter Takeover Target in the T J Smith Stakes at Randwick. A three-time Group One winner, Apache Cat is the best performed older sprinter so far this season with wins at the highest level at his past two starts in the Lightning Stakes at Flemington and in the Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley, both in February. "He had two weeks off after the Australia Stakes and it has done him the world of good. He's feeling a million dollars at the moment," trainer Greg Eurell said. The most recognisable horse in Australia courtesy of his striking white blaze, Apache Cat had his main lead-up gallop at Cranbourne Saturday morning. Eurell said he was looking forward to Saturday's challenge of Apache Cat meeting eight-year-old Takeover Target, a five time Group One winner with a cult following. "It doesn't matter whether it's wet or dry, he loves soft ground and he is so good fresh," Eurell said. "I consider myself lucky to have a horse like him. He's a great horse to train, you can do anything with him. "He hasn't had a trial, he doesn't need one." Takeover Target, a winner in three countries including the 2006 Sprinters Stakes in Japan and the Group Two King's Stand Stakes in England, and another T J Smith runner Magnus, runner-up in both the 2008 Oakleigh Plate and Newmarket Hcp, are being prepared for the $1 million Kris International Sprint (1200m) in Singapore on May 18. But Eurell has ruled out Apache Cat making the trip. "He won't be going to Singapore. We entered him to keep our options open, but he's a good chance to go to Japan later in the year for the Centaur Stakes and the Sprinters Stakes," Eurell said. "But first he will run in the TJ Smith and then head to Brisbane for the BTC Cup and the Doomben 10,000." Corey Brown, who replaced the ill Michael Rodd and is unbeaten on Apache Cat from two rides, in the Lightning and the Australia Stakes, has retained the mount. _________________ Cant wait :-)
