Another 3rd for Chief Red Cloud
Chief Red Cloud had another good result today, in what is possibly his most promising run to-date.
As usual he jumped well but settled back in the field with only on or two horses behind him. Approaching the home turn, he was bustled up around the field, but wobbled around the turn, and was a bit green in the straight. His jockey Chris Symons appeared to drop the whip at the top of the straight, but Chief battled on well to finish 3rd again, 2½ lengths from the winner, and only just missing out on 2nd place by a nose.
He is certainly racing like a horse looking for still more ground, but there are not many of those types of races around for 2YOs at this time of year, so I would not be surpised if he went out for a spell now, to return as an early 3yo.
