\u201cIt was a good effort as through the middle stages he was a good way off them and looked like he didn\u2019t know what he was there for,\u201d James said. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo be able to round them up like he did over 1100m is a good effort. <\/p>\n
\u201cPersonally, and I voiced this opinion to the owners yesterday, I think he is more of a 1400m to 1600m three-year-old. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo do this is a bonus, so we might have to rethink our programme.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hashizume was quick to point out some of the issues his mount overcame to secure the win. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe jumped well but didn\u2019t have a lot of speed and at this distance you jump and corner straight away,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the first time for him going right-handed so he didn\u2019t really corner properly and was on the wrong leg, so I had to pull the inside rein to get around. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe travelled comfortably, but I didn\u2019t expect him to go whoosh in the straight, so it was a good effort first time to the races. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe passed them easily and although he waited for the other horse, he is going to improve from today and has a very good future.\u201d <\/p>\n
Despite Incandescent not being a certain starter in the Karaka Millions 2YO, TAB bookmakers are taking no chances as they reduced him from $17 to the $6 fixed odds second-favourite for the race, which will be held at Ellerslie on the evening of January 24. <\/p>\n
Purchased by the TAB Racing Club for $200,000 out of the Little Avondale Stud draft during Book 1 at Karaka earlier this year, Incandescent is now owned by the MyRacehorse No 1 syndicate, who had a large group on-course to celebrate their triumph.<\/p>\n
