Is Predator on the rise?
The year nine foal crop is not one that could be sniffed at; bringing the likes of Paradise Island, Eternal Phantom, Euphoria's Warrior, Sugar Jayde and Infinite Warcry (among other greats) to the track. It was a competitive crop and some horses were of course left behind. But as many of the big hitters from that crop retire some continue to race and, in one case, it seems he may even have started to hit his peak late.
Who, you ask? Predator. The stallion started his career with Intrepid Racing but has since moved several times. Now racing for Riverview Acres he has already taken two wins this season and - trainer Alexia Harshing promises - there are more to come. Previously, this stallion has seemed to struggle to hold his own but could he really be rising from the ashes? Could this year, thought to be his last on the track, really be the one that holds the magic? With times and workouts like he has been running, it seems a sure possibility. This stallion certainly isn't going to go down without a fight, and Alexia divulged that she intends to be with him for every stride this year.
"He's got the spirit, he's got the determination - we aren't sure what he'd been missing, but something seems to have clicked and we'll be pushing him on in training and on the track. Watch out, he might make a real change to his career this year."
