Come Watch A Champion
The talented Patrobas has matured as a 4yo, and he gets a wonderful opportunity to register his 5th world cup win at Sydney Harbour Racecourse on Saturday. Patrobas is something special. Unbeaten in eight starts, a world cup winner at his last, he should handle the ground in his stride.
Is this a one-horse race? No doubt about it. Patrobas beat most of his rivals he meets here comprehensively and fairly and squarely in the last few cups.
We are putting our faith in Manor Park Stud and Nickole Bushweller – let’s not look for spooks!
The rest look likely to be fighting over place money.

1. Patrobas |
4yo stallion from Manor Park Stud, Career earnings: $3,224,622 Overall rating: Admirable(59) – Competitive |
Stable comments: – “Don’t want to put the mockers on Patrobas but every chance this horse could be the best I’ve trained. Seems to do everything so easily, cant quite put my finger on why. If he gets beat this weekend there’ll be no excuses as he seems to be over the IP he battled a bit last season”
2. Nell Unexpected |
4yo mare from Rawhide, Career earnings: $832,000 Overall rating: Reasonable(53) – Fast finisher |
Stable comments: – “
3. Fridas Jeebus |
4yo mare from DR Stables, Career earnings: $1,441,955 Overall rating: Satisfactory(48) – Needs space |
Stable comments: – “Fridas Jeebus has 11 of 14 top 5 finishes so top 5 isn’t out of the question. Fridas doesn’t have a finishing kick so she doesn’t have a chance in winning this race. Patrobas from Manor Park is the horse to beat and I don’t see anyone beating him.”
4. Big Bad Kamikaze |
4yo stallion from Burgersfortheboyz, Career earnings: $476,100 Overall rating: Admirable(57) – Competitive |
Stable comments: – “Patrobas looks too smart for this field. Big Bad Kamikaze is still immature and too green as he does not listen to his jockey. In his last two cup finals he did just as his name suggests and committed suicide by refusing to relax mid race. Place hope at best”
5. Ricky Fowler |
4yo mare from alex park, Career earnings: $579,353 Overall rating: Adequate(36) – Breakaway |
Stable comments: – “
6. Lady Diva |
4yo mare from Blackjack Farms, Career earnings: $1,819,900 Overall rating: Admirable(58) – Fast finisher |
Stable comments: – “A race against a multiple cup winner is always to be looked at with trepidation. A tough race and a real lack luster run in the prelims, hoping for some major improvement having a different jockey with my homebred mare Lady Diva.”
7. B’s Riddler |
4yo stallion from BIG-B, Career earnings: $1,642,666 Overall rating: Admirable(57) – Mud-lark |
Stable comments: – “
8. Donkey’s Bones |
4yo stallion from Bones Graveyard Stud, Career earnings: $607,599 Overall rating: Reasonable(53) – Fast finisher |
Stable comments: – “Don’t think I got a chance, again, its one of my own bred horse’s I got to beat”
9. Harvester Of Sorro |
4yo stallion from DoubleJ Ranch, Career earnings: $762,652 Overall rating: Admirable(56) – Natural champion |
Stable comments: – “
10. Smokegetsinyoureye |
4yo stallion from zephyr racing stable, Career earnings: $705,871 Overall rating: Satisfactory(49) – Needs space |
Stable comments: – “Smokegetsinyoureye- sired by Pembelton- named after a episode from the series “Homicide”. Horse is Legible for much easier races. Slowest runner through the heats, not a lot to get excited about. Hard seeing any horse beating Patrobas.”
