STRIKING SON OF SHADOW PLAY<br />
TAKES GRASS TRACK FEATURE<br />
Brilliant Strike won the 2016 Geraldine<br />
Cup at Orari on Sunday taking the<br />
entire’s career earnings to $161,464.<br />
Coincidentally, the Court’s bred and<br />
trained Shadow Play’s only other<br />
progeny of racing age, Beyond Belief,<br />
is out of a Christian Cullen mare, which<br />
is subsequently a winner also. The two<br />
Court trained runners the fastest male<br />

SECOND NZ BRED MARE<br />
BREAKS 1:50<br />
Arms Of An Angel could spearhead<br />
New South Wales husband and wife<br />
trainers Lauren and Shane Tritton’s<br />
assault on the Victorian riches in<br />
January and February after her 1:49.5<br />
blitz with Lauren in the cart in the Kevin<br />
Robinson FFA at Menangle at the<br />
weekend.<br />
The lightning-fast five-year-old Elsu<br />
mare will contest the $100,000 Group<br />
1 Alabar Ladyship Cup on Del-Re<br />
National A.G. Hunter Cup Night at<br />
Tabcorp Park Melton (February 4).<br />
Shane Tritton confirmed the Ladyship<br />
Cup was “definitely in consideration”<br />
for the brilliant pacer, whose weekend<br />
romp was a personal best, making her<br />
the second NZ-bred mare to break 1:50<br />
for the mile alongside Adore Me.<br />
The Ladyship Cup will form a key part<br />
of Arms Of An Angel’s preparation for<br />
another tilt at the $750,000 Ainsworth<br />
Miracle Mile at Menangle, a race in<br />
which last year she ran third behind<br />
Have Faith In Me and Lennytheshark<br />
in 1:47.5.<br />
