Melbourne Spring Racing Odds: Terravista Too Good
September 25th, 2014 by Pom de TurfTerravista is always a horse to watch in the sprints, and he came into The Shorts at Royal Randwick last week with five wins from his five starts at distances shorter than 1300m – which gives you an idea of the things that are expected from him. One of those expectations is that he will challenge Lankan Rupee at some point over the 2014 Spring Season, and it’ll be worth looking out for him in the Racing odds as that ‘Showdown of the Sprinters’ looms…
And Terravista looked to be building some good form at the weekend as he demolished the field in The Shorts to claim a good win. Trainer Joseph Pride was a happy man after his charge came home so strongly, and he was happy to call him the best horse he has had the pleasure of training: ‘he has an amazing sprint on him and he can sit off a hot speed. He has never been beaten at 1200 or below and it will be a long time until he does I think.’ And the trainer wasn’t Terravista’s only fan after that win in The Shorts. Corey Brown was on board for the win: ‘he is very good. He didn’t have a lot of luck even from barrier four and he was three wide facing the breeze, but I was never worried about the way that he was travelling. His turn-of-foot is pretty incredible actually and over the 1100 he has a great turn-of-foot.’
So whilst Racing fans – and especially fans of the sprints – lick their lips in anticipation of a contest between Terravista and Lankan Rupee, make sure you’re up to date with all the Racing odds by hitting the link there!
