The three years old New Zealand bred Nowyousee previously trained by Ricardo Le Grange is back under a new trainer Lee Freedman. Expert eyes are all focused on this three time winner who is maintaining is winning mojo and his impeccable form. On Tuesday morning, Nowyousee won the eighth of his nine trials – his only blemish being a nose second to Special King on June 7 – and this was a special victory.
Nowyousee ridden by Daniel Moor started swiftly with stable mate Tesroro Privado, who has also been transferred from Le Grange to Freedman. With his current form he soon took control and was already about half a dozen lengths ahead at the 600m mark. The way he forged ahead clearly indicated that he is going strong without any persuasion and it made others look like they were already in no show in front of him. Looking at Nowyousee excellent win records race caller Nicholas Child has to say “There’s no stopping the leader. He’s 10, 12 or even more lengths here. This has been an absolute procession and Nowyousee is going to win it with his head in his chest, and win well.”
Nowyousee, top trial indicated that he will be making his comeback soon. The son of O’Reilly was rested after finishing seventh in the $250,000 Group 3 Singapore Three-Year-Old Sprint over 1,200m on March 30. That race was the first leg of the Singapore Three-Year-Old Challenge, won by the Shane Baertschiger-trained Be Bee. That was also the only time Nowyousee finished out of the first three in six starts.
Nowyousee, started his career in a contrasting manner by winning his first two starts – the first by leading throughout and the second by coming from behind after a tardy start. Experts state that this is a trait of a good thoroughbred and there is a long way to go back for this fine breed. After a second placing, Nowyousee won again before running third. With the beneficial rest and yesterday’s trial win, he’s certainly one to follow.
