Foxenberg lives up to expectations on debut

Starting a $1.28 favourite on debut can bring added pressure, and it did for the Clayton Douglas team at Cranbourne Friday night with high expectations of one particular runner.

The 3yr old gelding Foxenberg had taken time to mature but dominant wins in two jumpouts in the lead up suggested his trainers patience was going to be rewarded...and it was in impressive style.

Jumping from barrier 3, in form jockey Daniel Stackhouse let the gelding roll to the front in the 5 horse field.  Coming into the straight the pressure was put on by the Matt Laurie runner, Central Bank, but with a bit of encouragement the big son of Foxwedge dug deep and strode away to win by 1.75 L.  Even more impressive, his win on debut was less than half a second outside the track record (57.81) over the 1000m.

Daniel Stackhouse was full of praise for the horse. “Began well, (I) just let him flow, just left him alone and be a happy horse, when he got pressure to the outside he switched on. He’s still very lost and raw and immature, still got no idea. Nice win and great debut for stable and he’ll definitely go on with it” said Stackhouse.

His trainer was equally complimentary. “ I think he’ll get 1400m in time and if he does he’s going to be a pretty serious horse for the stable. He’s a nice, big solid type and he has nice ability.

He’s been really slow maturing, gone shin sore a couple of times. He’s a horse that can fire up really quick and when he does he’s a really hard horse to get back. It was really nice to see him relax the way he did in front and give himself a chance, and when that horse challenged he had to knuckle down a little bit and obviously come away with a good win” said Douglas.

A $55,000 purchase from the Inglis Premier Sale, he was bred by Andrew Roussou who stayed in the ownership.

City win for No Limitation

A speedy filly by Exceedance gave Clayton Douglas his first 2yr old winner for the season with a brave win at Sandown yesterday.

No Limitation had 2 previous starts in smart company, including the Group 3 Blue Diamond Fillies’ Preview,  where she finished sixth in both.  A short freshen up at Fulmen Park had the filly in great order heading to Sandown and at only her third career start she had a city win on the board.

The plan wasn’t to lead in the 1000m event but No Limitation was simply too speedy from barrier 3 and put herself there. Luke Currie then rated the filly perfectly from the front and was able to hold off a fast finishing field.

"I thought Luke rode her well, rated her really well out in front. She was probably needing the line late, but obviously with the six weeks between runs, she's probably got nice improvement in it” said Douglas.

“Good to get a win for Barrie and Midge Griffiths, they’ve been good supporters for the stable and (they’re) obviously very famous colours. Barrie purchased her (No Limitation) himself and really liked her, and we have the sister at home so looking forward to the future with this family.”

No Limitation (Exceedance x Pierro Belle) was a $34,000 purchase from the Inglis HTBA yearling sale.  In an interesting twist both Luke Currie and Clayton Douglas had ridden the mother of No Limitation,  Pierro Belle,  in one of her 4 race wins before starting a stud career.

Congratulations to great supporters in Barrie and Midge Griffiths and thanks to the hard working team at home.

Rawiller, Douglas and Gronkowski...what a combination

The Warrnambool carnival holds fond memories for Clayton Douglas after twice winning the Grand Annual Steeplechase aboard Gold Medals, but having his childhood hero win on Gronkowski over the carnival is right up there.

The big Starcraft gelding was bred and raced by great clients in Rosemont Stud who were on course to witness his win.  “Gronk” was simply too good on the soft 6 ground over the 1300m to score an impressive 3.25L win.  The win was made even sweeter with champion jockey and Douglas family friend, Nash Rawiller, in the saddle.

“I think everyone knows how good this young bloke is as a trainer. He’s a star.” said Rawiller, full of praise in his post-race interview.

Nash and Clayton’s association goes back to childhood when in Nash’s words a young Clayton “…used to ride the couch with my whip and silks. We go back a long way”.

“The horse done a great job…(and the) strapper, thanks to him too” said Nash, in reference to Gronkowski and his son and fellow jockey, Cam Rawiller, who was on strapping duties.

The win was Gronkowski’s 4th from only 15 starts and congratulations to Rosemont Stud.

The win was a highlight for the Doulgas and Rawiller family and what a great way to round out another fantastic Warrnambool Carnival.  Can’t wait for next year!
