Grisham | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Big, rangy, well made colt Kahal colt with plenty of presence. Looks a good sort in the making and should get ground. Race Report Durbanville, Tuesday, 21/10/08 Event: Race 2, Maiden Plate Distance: 1400m Finished: 1st Post Race Comments: Very well ridden by Karl Neisius, he ran on strongly to win a very good race. He looks to be a very promising sort. Race Report Kenilworth, Tuesday, 4/11/08 Event: Race 9, MR 74 Handicap Distance: 1800m Finished: 3rd Post Race Comments: Ran a very good race but unfortunately couldn’t hold off two of the 4 year olds at the weights, with the result that he finished a very good 3rd. Race Report Kenilworth, 9/12/08 Event: Race: 5, Graduation Plate Distance: 1600m Finished: 3rd Post Race Comments: Very satisfying run in this competition at these weights. Race Report Kenilworth, 20/12/08 Event: Race 3, The Palace of the Lost City Novice Plate Distance: 1400m Finished: 2nd Post Race Comments: Very good run over this 1400m, especially as it is a little short for him. He ran a good 2nd, beaten only by a very smart 4 year old at the weights. Race Report Kenilworth, 31/01/09 Event: Race 5, Investec Cape Derby (Grade 1) Distance: 2000m Finished: Unplaced. Post Race Comments: Found the pace of the Derby a little bit too hot to handle at this stage. He was handily placed early on but couldn’t manage to maintain the gallop throughout. He probably needs a little more time to mature. Race Report Durbanville, 4/4/09 Event: Race 6, The Morning Star Progress Plate Distance: 1400m Finished: 1st Post Race Comments: Was placed 1st after an objection by the Stipendiary Stewards, as the initial winner carried him right across the course in the closing stages of the race. It was a very good run from him first time back over this trip. He ran on strongly from the back of the field and should come on from this run. Race Report Kenilworth, 26/4/09 Event: Race 8, Winter Guineas (Grade 3) Distance: 1600m Finished: 6th Post Race Comments: Slightly slow away and was unable to get a clear run up the straight. He could have gone a lot closer but for this. Race Report Kenilworth, 31/5/09 Event: Race 7, Winter Classic (Grade 3) Distance: 1800m Finished: 6th Post Race Comments: Had a nice spot and was traveling well but unfortunately stumbled quite badly before coming into the straight, causing him to lose a bit of ground. He was never really traveling the same after that. Race Report Kenilworth, 5/9/09 Event: Race 6, Allowance Plate Distance: 1200m Finished: 5th Post Race Comments: Ran a fair race as he was desperately in need of this run. Race Report Kenilworth, 19/9/09 Event: Race 5, PSL Soccer 4 Progress Plate Distance: 1400m Finished: 3rd Post Race Comments: Ran much better this time but still was in need of a gallop. He should be ready for his next run. We may try the Matchem Stakes. Race Report Kenilworth, 3/10/09 Event: Race 6, Matchem Stakes Grade 3 Distance: 1400m Finished: 7th Post Race Comments: The jockey reported that he wasn’t quite as comfortable as he could be this time, but he had a lot of ground to make up in the straight. He pulled up pretty sound at home, so perhaps this run could be ignored. He may be better over further too. Race Report Durbanville, 28/10/09 Event: Race: 7, Merit Rated 94 Handicap Distance: 1800m Finished: 4th Post Race Comments: Ran a much improved race over the distance, finishing 4th. Race Report Kenilworth, 27/11/09 Event: Race 3, Graduation Plate Distance: 1800m Finished: 7th Post Race Comments: Was travelling well turning for home, but weakened late. He doesn’t seem to try hard enough under pressure. Maybe we should try blinkers next time. Race Report Kenilworth, 11/12/09 Event: Race 6, Merit Rated 85 Handicap Distance: 2400m Finished: 3rd Post Race Comments: Made some improvement over the extra distance, but gives the impression that he can still do better. Race Report Kenilworth, 2/01/10 Event: Race 5, Divided Merit Rated 93 Handicap Distance: 2000m Finished: 2nd Post Race Comments: Was well placed and ran a good enough race to finish 2nd. He seems to be holding his form better now. Race Report Durbanville, 13/2/10 Event: Race 6, Graduation Plate Distance: 1800m Finished: 2nd Post Race Comments: Ran as best as he could and had the rest of the field well beaten. The winner was just way too good on the day. Race Report Clairwood, 21/4/10 Event: Race 4, Graduation Plate Distance: 1700m Finished: 1st Post Race Comments: Ran on very nicely to win a good race. Race Report Greyville, 21/5/10 Event: Race 7, Betting World 1900 (Grade 2) Distance: 1900m Finished: Unplaced Post Race Comments: Raced too far out of his ground after being slightly slow away. He ran on quite well, but could make no impression. We may try a little further next time. Report Greyville, 5/6/10 Event: Race 8, Lonsdale Stirrup Cup (Grade 3) Distance: 2400m Finished: 8th Post Race Comments: Grisham was well placed early on but steadily got shuffled back and was too far out of his ground turning for home in a slow run race. He ran on well but would have finished a lot closer had he been better placed Race Report Scottsville, 2/7/10 Event: Race 7, Open Merit Rated 92 Handicap Distance: 1950m Finished: 6th Post Race Comments: Was traveling well initially, but halfway round the turn, his hind leg slipped slightly and thereafter he was never going well. He also returned coughing which indicates internal bleeding. Race Report Scottsville, 11/8/10 Event: Race 4, Merit Rated 90 Divided Handicap Distance: 1950m Finished: 3rd Post Race Comments: Ran on quite well to finish 3rd, although the going seemed a bit firm for him.
