Trainer Cameron Crockett says he could not have scripted Super Extreme’s path into the $150,000 Newhaven Park Hunter & North West Country Championships (1400m) at Tamworth any better if he had his time over.
Trainer Cameron Crockett says he could not have scripted Super Extreme’s path into Sunday’s $150,000 Newhaven Park Hunter & North West Country Championships at Tamworth any better if he had his time over.
It is up to the talented five-year-old now, but as far as the Scone trainer is concerned there is nothing else he could have done to give the horse his best possible chance to qualify for the $1million final at Randwick. Super Extreme arrives at Tamworth third up on the back of a fresh win and a lead-up run on his home track that had the trainer beaming.“I’d have to say of all the horses I’ve got ready for a Country Championships heat he has not missed a beat,” Crockett said.
Crockett hatched his plan after Super Extreme contested the Barn Dance in November and he was keen to secure a rider to stick with the gelding. Ashley Morgan committed to ride the horse and went to Dubbo for his first-up win where he shouldered 60.5kg over the unsuitable 1100m before carrying another 1kg in the Preview at Scone as he charged into third behind Sting Jet and Melody Again.
“All we really wanted to see was the horse finishing hard under the big weight; if he wins, great, but he did have a task against him,” he said. “We didn’t want to draw in. His worst runs are when he draws inside because he doesn’t get the luck. “You don’t want to draw out because in a big field a horse like him will have to go too far back to get in. “If he could sit midfield with a bit of cover and they run along a bit in front, he’ll be hitting the line hard.”
