Will Note To Self be the fifth successive WSB Met winner for the Justin Snaith yard next year, although if he is it would bring Nick Jonsson’s run of four-in-a-row to and end as this Futura gelding is owned by Jonathan Bloch, Jonathan Snaith and Nancy Hossack?
The Varsfontein Stud-bred Futura gelding was one of the most impressive winners at Hollwyoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.
He raced over 2000m in a C Stakes event and carried joint topweight of 61,5kg under Andrew Fortune.
That did not stop him from winning easing up by three lengths.
He was beautifully relaxed in the running and showed a fine turn of foot.
Fortune said he had the race won throughout.
He mentioned how impressively he had quickened when just giving him a little “squeeze” at the top of the straight and added he could feel there were still “two more gears” left, gears he did not need to call on.
The gelding has a massive stride and will continue to progress.
Snaith said he had became particularly excited about Note To Self after he had won over 1200m on debut, knowing that he needed 2000m.
He said it was just a case now of nurturing him in the right direction.
However, he did say his next target would likely be the Gr 1 Lucky Fish Cape Derby.
His merit rating went up six points to 96 for the win on Saturday.
