Cauthen could go up against the best in NZ in Telegraph..

Brad Waters - 3/12/2013

Cauthen’s Melbourne campaign petered out but trainer Andrew Campbell says the three-year-old could take on New Zealand’s best sprinters in the Group I Telegraph Handicap (1200m) next month.

The form around Cauthen’s win at Moonee Valley at his second Australian start turned out to be outstanding with the placegetters from the August 24 contest – Shamus Award and Long John – progressing to win the Cox Plate and Caulfield Guineas respectively later in the spring.

Campbell took Cauthen back to New Zealand after the son of Darci Brahma flopped at Flemington on September 7 but the trainer told The Informant the promising galloper had done well since returning to his homeland.

Cauthen has only had one start in New Zealand for an 8-1/2-length maiden win but Campbell said his charge could run against the seasoned sprinters at Trentham.

"He’ll either run in the Telegraph Handicap or later at the meeting in a three-year-old 1200 metres,” he said. "We’ll make a call closer to the time.

"He’ll have a jumpout at the end of the month and maybe a couple more. I’ll just see how he comes up.

"He had a couple of weeks in the paddock then worked on the water-walker, He’s a big, gross horse and I didn’t want him to get too big. He didn’t lose a lot of fitness.

"He proved he’s up to it over there. It’s going to be exciting to see what he does now.”

Didn't know where else to put this but have a share in a 2yo colt first starter at Flemington tomorrow in the first. It's name is Chivalry and trained by Kavanagh, ridden by Rodd. It hasn't had any official trials but has been working well so hopeful he'll put up a good showing, if so he'll be tipped out for a spell with the aim being the Blue Diamond if he's up to that level but only time will tell. He's out of Street Cry who Kavanagh has plenty of success with so here's hoping.

It's always fraught with danger telling people before the race about a horse in case they put in a shocker which has happened in the past lol but would much rather risk that before than come out and say it after if he ran a decent race or even won. But it's 2yo's so who knows what the f**k will happen with the babies.

Cheers boys. Was surprised he opened up so short especially with no exposed trial form so i've no idea where that came from, certainly not form me! While it's a bit disappointing to get done by a shortish margin like that overall was pretty happy with his first run.

Fair assessments there, took him a while to get out and had his chance but the winner had all the momentum bowling along in front and was too good on the day and certainly deserved it. Rodd got off and said was pulling a bit in the run which isn't unusual for 2yo's especially down the straight but was happy with how he felt, the way he hit the line and will take plenty out of the run.

As you blokes mentioned, he also said he'll be better as a 3yo and needs further feels he definitely has a decent race win in him if he continues to progress. The trainer said pretty much the same and anything he might do as a 2yo is a bonus though overall he was happy with the debut.

Now its just a wait and see how he pulled up from the run to work out whether it's off to the paddock or have another run though there's not a great deal of races for the babies at this time of year so it'll just depend on the trainer. Will keep you updated and with any luck we can all make some decent coin off him ;-)

lol don't think we have much yet HT, while we were happy enough with his debut showing plenty of promise in track work he still has to do it on race day. At this stage it's a race by race proposition to see what happens and while i read somewhere that the Magic Millions might be on the cards that's pretty unlikely at this stage and if everything goes right the Blue Diamond is still the target but a shitload can happen form now until then.

The trainer said that he's trained on well from last start and he's in at the Valley on Saturday. Not ideal for a youngster learning the game getting around a tight track like the Valley and over 1000 which i'd have preferred a bit longer, but to be honest it'll be disappointing if he doesn't run in the top few.
