MAZ - AN UPDATE!

Maz's First Barrier Trial

According to Jamie Quinnell (Maz's Jock), Maz didn't jump all that well, however he finished off the trial quite nicely to win by a head. The barrier experience will do him the world of good and hopefully he will begin with them when he gets to race day. Jamie was actually quite surprised how well he picked up in the straight and was very pleased with the effort. Both he and Phil thinks he will be best suited over 1200m-1400m.

Phil will have a look for a race for him in about two weeks. It depends on what is around as to whether he starts in a 1200m maiden first up, or an 1100m maiden as an experience run.

It was only a maiden barrier trial, and only one of his opponents had run a place in a race, so we shouldn't get too carried away. However, it is a good positive sign for Maz as he will get better with more experience under his belt. He ate up well this morning and appears to have taken no ill effects from the trial.

Will keep everyone informed.

GO MAZ!
