Beaudesert trainer Brian Gentle has a small team in work but has his eyes pinned on next year\u2019s Queensland Winter Carnival.<\/p>\n
His emerging three-year-old Destinys Summit has been brilliant this preparation, winning three races in a row despite nothing going to plan.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a family bloodline Gentle has worked a lot with; and he has trained for Destiny Thoroughbreds\u2019 Brett Knight for many years now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first horse I trained for him was called Destiny Rising in Sydney and he was a half-brother to [Destinys Summit] mother,\u201d Gentle said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe won his Maiden at Canterbury by four or five-lengths so we are sort of carrying on the same line that most horses are called Destinys something.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gentle broke in Destiny Summit\u2019s Dam, Destiny\u2019s Revolt, though she had nowhere near the ability her first foal does as she struggled throughout her career to retire a Maiden.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was always the one that we\u2019d earmarked to carry on the family line,\u201d Gentle said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is doing a good job so far with him and we have got a yearling half-brother to him as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gentle had a big opinion of Destinys Summit after showing ability from day one.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember the first gallop I gave him as a yearling I rang my mate and said, \u2018this is the best one of the lot we\u2019d had\u2019,\u201d Gentle said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom day one he has just been an absolute natural. I broke him in myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe obviously won his first two trials and then he sort of went off the boil a little bit and we couldn\u2019t work out why.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the end we sort of knew he got his leg over the inside of the walking machine one day and we thought he was fine because he was sound and everything, but he had another couple of trials where he started hanging and doing everything wrong. [We] had the chiropractor to him and he popped his shoulder out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Brodie Nickson Beaudesert trainer Brian Gentle has a small team in work but has his eyes pinned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-142913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
