Our Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Wyong 11/1
January 12, 2025
The replays and sectional times have been reviewed from Saturday’s Lakes meeting at Wyong. Our analyst has found a Lees mare that raced well against the pattern of the day and an emerging O’Shea & Charlton gelding that looks destined for bigger things.
Imposant
The Lees mare raced well against the pattern of the day after she settled at the rear and found herself in a terrible position widest on the turn. She worked home strongly from Lane 4, where nothing had won from all day, to finish 0.5L 2nd to Headley Grange. I expect the form to hold up from that race as the 1 min 14s time was a new 1300m Track Record.
Yorkshire
The O’Shea & Charlton gelding was smashed from $1.75 into $1.55 carrying the hopes of many single and multi bets. He delivered on the expectation sitting outside the leader and cruising away to a 2.1L victory that never looked in doubt. The final 600m was 0.23s faster than the shorter 1200m Race 9. He shouldn’t find it too challenging to pick up another race or 2 this prep.Â
