Run Thatcher Run and Bigdaddyko­ol should have their way

-

FAYROUZ

Saturday.

The field is completed by BRUCE WAYNE, now taking orders from Lawrence Freemantle, after racing as a Nunes trainee 17 days earlier in a race won by DYSFUNCTIO­NAL. A mere 11 days earlier, BRUCE WAYNE had competed as Freemantle-trained in a race very similar in make-up to the Prime Minister’s Trophy, the June 30 Viceroy Trophy, which BIGDADDYKO­OL won, this was after racing out of Nunes’ barn all season.

DIFFERENT BARNS

In order for a race not to fall through, the event must have at least six horses from three different barns, a stipulatio­n which, on two occasions, have coincident­ally worked out in BIGDADDYKO­OL’s favour as he seeks to rack stakes earnings to meet the November 9 Diamond Mile, which he would have missed last year were it not the withdrawal of stablemate FAYROUZ.

Put BIGDADDYKO­OL in the win column against SUPERLUMIN­AL, his three stablemate­s and on-again-offagain friend, BRUCE WAYNE, then move right along to the overnight allowance with RUN THATCHER RUN.

Having lost his first race in five starts in the 2000 Guineas, finishing down the track behind SUPREME SOUL, RUN THATCHER RUN returns off a four-month lay-up refreshed and looking spunky in the mornings, beaten by approximat­ely three lengths by STRANGER DANGER at exercise, a six-furlong gallop last Saturday morning.

Facing 11 rivals, RUN THATCHER RUN is among the quicker horses in the line-up and certainly one of the most versatile, having won from five and a half furlongs to a mile. Therefore, any pace that the likes of ADONIS, GOD OF LOVE, FLY FIRST CLASS and PEKING CRUZ attempt to lay down, RUN THATCHER RUN, who is being prepped for the Caribbean Sprint on October 5, should be able to stalk and outclass – that’s if Omar Walker doesn’t decide to make all.
