Atlantic Jewel.

[Cyclonic]

The new Coolmore "Star" Atlantic Jewel today went on her merry winning way. The G2 Wakeful Stakes, although not exactly packed with class, did however feature a couple of G3 winners and two Listed race victors. Her rider Michael Rodd is of the opinion that she's about the best thing he's ridden, and he's won just about everything, including the Melbourne Cup. I suppose people can get a bit over confident, but the more I see of her, the easier it is to believe what Rodd has to say. I have a link below. She's in the dark blue, second last as they go down the back. Flemington race 3.

initially i though how disappointing her time was compared to the same distance Mackinnon in which glass harmonium made all the running to win his first group 1.

just checked out the sections on my new toy tvn and wow!!!!!!!!!

she ook 34.79 for her final 600m miles better than the older males in the mackinnon

sepoy didnt look impressive and the runner up foxwedge was going faster than him over the last half of the race and if he started a bit faster may of caused a upset to he long odds on shot sepoy!

They were debating about whether to start Sepoy today. He does look a bit jaded doesn't he? He didn't look all that flash, the start before either. I think they are going to turn him out for a while. They still seem keen to send him to the UK for the big sprints next year.

Another uncontested victory for this awesome filly. Surely they have to find her a bigger stage to strut her stuff on now? She needs some real classy opposition.

Just when atlantic Jewel looked to have next Thursday's Oaks at her mercy, she injured herself in the wakeful. Nothing too serious, a torn muscle in her rump. She's out until the Autumn.

Oh Lord, she is good! Shame she's injured but sounds to me she'll make a full recovery.
