After the weekend of racing we assess the horses you need to forgive, forget and to follow.
Forgive
Brooklyn Hustle – Jason Warren & Dean Krongold
15th of 17 in the 1400 metre Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara (Eagle Farm)
Brooklyn Hustle! She’s featured in a few of these articles and this time is in the Forgive section. Back to Group 1 level and back to her old tricks of finding dead ends. She looks up to this level after her two barnstorming wins but just needs everything to go right and on Saturday, nothing did.

Hulk – Chris Waller
2nd of 12 in the 1100 metre Benchmark 78 (Rosehill)
Wow he was stiff in the last race of the day, only getting clear late powering home to finish less then a length behind the winner. Brenton Avdulla cuddled him for as long as he could but may have timed the run a tad too late but it was just an unfortunate position to be stuck back to the inside. Forgive him and back him next start with the hope he finds clear running toward the outside.
Forget
Great House – Chris Waller
3rd of 10 in the 1800 metre Benchmark 88 (Rosehill)
It looked his race to lose on the weekend but he burnt punters again after starting $1.95 favourite. After kicking off the campaign with a win it looked like the former international galloper had started to find his feet in Australia. Although only lightly raced, since coming to Australia he has started $6, $2.80, $2.50, $2.50, $3.80 and $1.95. He’s just hard to catch at the moment and one to forget for now.

Follow
Right You Are – Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr
4th of 12 in the 1440 metre Benchmark 84 (Caulfield)
In his first run back since November jockey Damien Oliver had to snag the gelding back to last from barrier 11. After coming wide on the final turn he ran on well to finish just outside of the placings despite the track pattern. It was a nice little hit out for him and should be hard to beat next start and one to follow in the next few months.
