Inarticulate In Barnstorming Carbine Club Stakes Win
- Saturday, 21 November 2009 13:15
Inarticulate ($12.20) was given a superb ride by Kennedy, allowing gifted six-year-old to relax in the back half of the field, from a wide barrier in the early stages.
On the swing for home Kennedy elected to follow stable mate Proart instead of circling the field and it proved a winning move, as Inarticulate sprinted quickly in between runners inside the 200 metres to snare the prize.
Durrant must be credited with a fantastic training performance winning the feature first-up with Inarticulate off a seven month spell.
Inarticulate was a brave second last start at Belmont in May, however in the process bled and was forced to the sidelines.
This time last year Durrant was talking Railway Stakes with Inarticulate, and the Carbine Club of WA Stakes is a reward for perseverance for the Durrant family.
It was a stable quinella for Durrant on a red letter day for the outstanding young horseman, with Proart holding second after receiving a nice run in transit throughout.
Liquidation finished further back in third place after looking the winner early in the straight.
"Alan (Kennedy) had the pick of four horses in the race and he chose Inarticulate on his trial, his work has been excellent. This is a really good occasion for Mum, Dad and my sister, for everyone involved," Durrant said.
