Our Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Rosehill 12/10
October 14, 2024
The replays and sectional times have been reviewed from Saturday’s Rosehill meeting and has found 3 runners you must follow through the remainder of the spring.
Waterford
The Waller gelding really caught the eye resuming over 1400m in the Alan Brown. He settled a long way back on the fence in the off midfield position. Clipperton pulled him to the outside at the top of the straight and was still a mile off at the 300m. He let down strongly to only go down by 0.5L in 3rd recording 33.0 for the final 600m, which was the 2nd fastest for the race and 10th fastest for the meeting.
He’s a must follow 2nd up where he takes a 4: 1-2-1 record and appearing to be going better than ever.Â

Another that resumed in the Alan Brown and is one to follow moving forward. He was a watch after an impressive 12L trial victory but was hampered by stepping slightly slow and then had to do a bit of extra work to find the lead. He was game until the final 150m when he began to shorten stride and faded to finish 2L 5th.
If he can find a race with less pressure up front in a smaller field then he should be a bet 2nd up where his record improves to 4: 1-1-0. The 5 Pillars may be the target further down the line.
Danny’s St Darci
The Matt Dale mare settled behind the leader and it was an ugly watch for anyone who was in on the $61 firm to $41. She was strung up behind the fading Peace Treaty switching outside and inside to find an opening. When the run finally came at the 100m she rattled home quickly but it was all too late with hot shot favourite Olentia having an uninterrupted run. She finished 1.1L 2nd but definitely should have won. Â
