Late bloomers Narsil, Melkor and Trigun have surely given us something to look forward to next year as their success on the track keeps improving. Just last weekend both three year olds colts went out and won with inspiring hopes of what is to come.
Melkor won his first G2 race, the Grand Prix Stakes, by 9 full lengths and taking the lead from the get go for 11 furlongs on turf. This is his 3rd win in a row. My patience seems to be paying off after pulling my hair out a few times. I expect he will do better next year.
Trigun had his work cut out for him though stepping it up in competition and grade in the G1 Doomben Cup. I will admit I was worried with horses such as Lazy Loper, Taj Mahlal, Silver Poetry.. well the whole field was a big obstacle for my colt and to say the least I questioned his ability to perform against such high caliber horses but I did indeed want to test his ability and they did. He pulled through amazingly well, shocking me and winning his first GI race and setting a track record. At this moment Trigun is being shipped via plane for his next test. ;-)
Our other late bloomers are Narsil, who has bloomed nicely now and winning over 1 mill, and also Retaliate and Balrog who we are still patiently waiting to mature.
So don't throw out those two year olds at the end of this season, or sell those three year olds after their first bad start cause they performed badly, you could regret it later.
