A Real Prince Flies Home for Dead Heat

14 September 2011

John Bromley’s game O’Reilly galloper A Real Prince defied a seemingly impossible position and 59kg weight impost to snatch deadheat glory in the Coogee Walk 1200 at Taupo today.

A Real Prince had them all before him turning for home, but let down strongly under rider Lisa Allpress, careering home outwide to collar Sadist right on the line.

Under the guidance of Fraser Auret, the Bromley-bred and raced 4YO gelding has realised four wins from nine outings.

A Real Prince is out of the unraced Cape Cross mare Cee Cee Princess, who to date has produced the one winner from as many to race.

New winner for Noverre

Noverre has another winner on the board after Platinum La Danse produced a dazzling last-to-first run to break her maiden at just her fourth career start.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

The two of you will be aware of my ongoing concern as to the future of our sport. You could argue I have a vested interest; well, I did have, but my interest now is to give the future generations the opportunity my generation had. Now I can tell you, hand on heart, there were many financial thin times. 1975 was my fledgling start with five mares on 130 acres that occasionally flooded with the well-bred, non-race-winning Super Gray.
