Stable’s massive carnival assault

“There was nothing between them in The Galaxy and I think that is good form,” Snowden said.

Russian Revolution trialled impressively at Randwick on April 28, winning his heat in the best effort of the morning.

But Snowden said Redzel’s close second to stablemate Wild ‘ N’ Famous at the same set of trials was also good work.

The Snowdens could have as many as 17 horses stabled at Eagle Farm during the winter.

It would be the biggest team from a southern trainer since the 1960s and 70s when the late T.J. Smith would bring up to 20 horses for the carnival.

“I think we have 10 at Scone this weekend and seven of them are going north,” Snowden said. “There are four up there already and we have some others to straggle their way north.”

The Snowdens had their first winner of the Brisbane carnival when Taking Aim won the Group 3 Ken Russell Memorial Classic at the Gold Coast last Saturday.

“It was a good way to start and lets hope it continues,” Snowden said.
