Drifting Spirit,Champagne Flute, Seasonality

Eight Winners in a Week
About the time that my computer got dropped last Thursday, Drifting Spirit hit the line first at Sale. Now trained by the new training combination of Matty Ellerton and Simon Zahra, this Bel Esprit had two and a half lengths to spare on the line. This was after Bel Estar and The Package had won earlier in the day at Sale and Northam.Then on Friday night Bel’s Ringer and Perfect Sky were on song in Singapore with Mooring running second.
It is well recorded that Black Caviar won the the black type race at Moonee Valley on Saturday, however later in the afternoon the Ken Moses trained Champagne Flute won her second race for the month, at Kembla Grange, seven winners in three days.
Seasonality, who was previously trained by Lee Freedman, won at Echuca on Tuesday for trainer Greg Eurell with Chris Symons aboard and the progeny had a strike rate of over 20% for the month.
They don’t all win and Stellesprit didn’t win today. This gelding won his last start at Berrigan in March after missing the start by seven lengths and trainer Mandie Jones had big hopes for the horse, however he was entered for a race three weeks later only trouble was he wouldn’t go into the float to go to the races.
Today he entered the stall only after a lot of trouble, raced four wide and put up a good effort to finish fourth, have patience Mandie.
Ps the computer came back minus data, luckily it was backed up in May so it wasn’t a complete disaster.
