Sean Tarry said his Joburg Spring Challenge winner Tin Pan Alley will run in the Graham Beck Stakes over 1400m on November 1 and the connections will then take it from there.
He said, “He has found enough in all of his runs to date to suggest he has got a lot of potential.”
He said his Joburg Spring Fillies and Mares Challenge winner Callmegetrix might have a crack at the Gr 2 Allied Steelrode-Onamission Charity Mile.
He said, “We will have a look at the Charity Mile, see what is in there.”
Stablemate Rodeo Drive was a 0,30 length second to Callmegetrix and the rest of the field were a further 7,60 lengths back, so that was a fine effort.
Tarry said as there were not many 1400m races around, he would have to decide whether to go up in trip to the mile with Rodeo Drive or come back to 1200m.
He added, “I might even just try her in the Charity Mile and if that doesn’t work out there is a sprint feature for her on Summer Cup day.”
Sean did not think Lucky Lad ran a bad race to be be beaten just 4,75 lengths in the Joburg Spring Challenge and said, “He ran only two weeks ago after a five month break, so the second run after a rest could have played a role, but we will definitely focus on sprints now and it will be the same with Quantum Thoery, he will revert to sprints.”
