JENNY'S ROSE BLOOMS IN NEW SURROUNDINGS

By Graham Potter | Saturday, August 31, 2024

Jenny’s Rose, a new acquisition to the Corey and Kylie Geran stable, landed her first career win in a Maiden Handicap over 1890m at Toowoomba on August 31, in so doing becoming yet another horse to win its first outing for the Geran stable.

Jenny’s Rose had five unplaced runs from 1000m to 1890m before joining the Geran yard, which she did as a fit horse, having already had two starts in August for the Bevan Laming stable so Team Geran were able to let the four-year-old daughter of Shamus award jump right in to action.

And jump right into action she did!

Starting from a number three barrier draw, Jenny’s Rose ($4.60) was immediately sent to the front by Karl Zechner and It would turn out to be a great front-running ride by Zechner, who rated his mount beautifully throughout.

Jenny’s Rose always had company, with Smoking Match ($11) sitting hard, three-quarters-of a length back to her outside all the way down the back straight and all the way through the sweep to the home turn.

In fact, halfway through the approach to the home turn, with the pack starting to close ground, it looked like Jenny’s Rose might have been about to come under pressure.

That was just a momentary illusion, because once Jenny’s Rose straightened for home and Zechner put his foot on the accelerator, the race quickly became a ‘no contest’ with Jenny’s Rose romping away to win every bit as easily as the final 3.50 length winning margin suggests.

It was a big win.
