With an upcoming run at the George Main Stakes, Reward For Effort continues to back trainer Peter Moody’s claim that he is the best sprinter in Australian horse racing. Reward for Effort notched a thrilling victory at the Group Three Concorde Stakes at the Rosehill racecourse to solidify Moody’s belief.
Rather than staying in Melbourne wherein race track conditions are wet, Moody chose to bring the horse to Rosehill and tallied a two-length victory over Winter King. After an impressive victory at the 2009 Blue Diamond Stakes, the George Main Stakes-bound Reward for Effort was inactive for a year due to a suspensory injury but he went back in grand fashion with a victory at the Monash Stakes last month.
Moody said that the best is yet to be seen from Reward For Effort but he strongly claims that the race horse is the best sprinter in Australia. Though Reward For Effort did not race for a year, he remained to be a competitive colt and he nearly won the Group 1 Golden Slipper on a dry racecourse. Moody added that they have to maintain the horse’s health.
Moody’s team also plans to have Reward For Effort run at the Manikato Stakes and the George Main Stakes to get another Group 1 victory. However, their plan would depend on the race day track conditions. Moody pointed out that Reward For Effort does not handle wet tracks very well.
During the Monash Stakes, jockey Nash Rawiller tried to overtake Reward for Effort which had a 3.60 betting odds. However, Rawiller and Winter King which carried an 8.50 betting odd coming into the race, remained on the inside of the 1100-metre sprint race. The George Main Stakes aspirant Reward For Effort got the lead place while Winter King stuck to his game plan to finish second.
Coming from the home turn, Trusting, with a 7.50 betting odd, claimed third place over Montana Flyer. Rawiller said that Reward For Effort is a very exciting galloper and he got the win pretty easily due to his “electric turn of foot”. Also, Winter King’s performance did not raise any concern from Rawiller. Also, trainer John Thompson applauded Trusting’s run for the race horse is not trained for 1100-metre races.
Like Reward For Effort, Trusting will head to the George Main Stakes after participating in either the Cameron Handicap at the Newcastle racecourse or the Theo Marks.
