Harvey Aiming For More Belmont Magic

Friday, 06 September 2002 00:00

The undisputed king of the west, Harvey guided home five of the seven winners at Belmont on Wednesday and tomorrow he has a great chance to extend his early lead in the premiership.

"I thought I had a nice book of rides," Harvey told Cyberhorse. "But you never go to the races expecting to ride a certain amount of winners, you can't."

Harvey's five winners equalled his personal best. "I've ridden five winners on the card four times now," Harvey said.

Thanks to win on Heartbeat, Vampire, Thompson's Bay, Carry Kali and Keldaan, Harvey's position on top of the premiership after just five weeks sits at a healthy six wins.

He has ridden 15 winners from just 49 mounts, an impressive winning percentage of 30.61. Harvey has also been placed on 9 other occasions since the meeting on August 3.

Currently Harvey has a six win break over Jason Whiting, while apprentice Shaun McGruddy and senior Jason Brown are a further two adrift.

Tomorrow at Belmont the winning form displayed by Harvey looks set to continue with a number of leading chances.

"Hopefully tomorrow I can have some more luck," he said.

Harvey will be hoping to extend his winning streak to five, after booting home the last four winners on Wednesday, with Marscara in the first event.

"She is trained by a very good trainer in Lindsey Smith and she is sure to run well," Harvey predicted.

The top jockey revealed his mount Star of Vain in the fifth race of day would be hard pressed to win back to back races.

The last start winner has fitness on his side, but one of Perth's most exciting young gallopers Hardrada is standing in the way tomorrow.

"He (Hardrada) is a very classy horse and he has a lot more natural ability than my mount," Harvey said.

"You'd have to think Hardrada would win."

PICS - Quentin Lang.

CONTRABANDIDO (K. Hawkins) was slow into stride. DANGER HAND raced fiercely in the early and middle stages. EXTERMINATOR (W. Hughes) raced ungenerously passing the 1000m. Jockey N. Chapman was questioned regarding the reason for UNCLE BRIAN leading today as compared to its previous start when it raced back in the field. Jockey Chapman stated he was instructed to ride UNCLE BRIAN in a forward position due to its wide barrier and after commencing well UNCLE BRIAN was obliged to race wide with a tendency to pull hard. For this reason Jockey Chapman elected to allow the gelding to stride along, thereby leading. Trainer Mr R. McPherson confirmed these instructions and advised that he had expected UNCLE BRIAN to be ridden more prominently at its previous start, however the gelding had raced greenly and got back further in the field than anticipated. He further explained that it was his intention to have UNCLE BRIAN ridden in a forward position when possible in future. Stewards accepted this explanation, however Trainer Mr McPherson was reminded of his obligation to advise Stewards of any change in riding instructions. CONTRABANDIDO raced greenly in the middle stages and wide from the 600m. GOLDEN PROSPECT (S. McGruddy) and WOOL ZONE (Jason Brown) bumped heavily at the turn into the straight and again bumped passing the 250m. CONTRABANDIDO lay inwards near the 100m crowding WOOL ZONE.

Finger was at a loss to explain the gelding’s performance and he advised that he would have POLVERYZE fully vetted and report the findings to the Stewards. Trainer Mr L. Luciani was questioned regarding the disappointing performance of PEKAN FLYER. Mr Luciani stated PEKAN FLYER had failed to settle in the early and middle stages and returned extremely big in condition. He further explained that PEKAN FLYER, after its previous winning performance was unable to be restrained and had cantered a further 600m. Due to this and the fact that PEKAN FLYER had raced twice in one week prior to today’s performance, Mr Luciani elected to ease PEKAN FLYER’s workload, which he now believed had adversely affected its performance.
