PLAN HATCHED TO PERFECTION AS THE TYLER MAKES ALL OF THE RUNNING AT DOOMBEN

By Graham Potter | Wednesday, October 26, 2022

When trainer Lindsay Hatch sends one to town, you know it the horse will be worth a second glance … and when it shortens in price from $12 to $9 you would probably be wise to think that there might be a hint of a message in there.

That was the case with the Hatch trained The Tyler who was sent to town off the back of a fourth place finish behind the imported gelding Without Revenge who was a notable winner when scoring in his first Australian start.

Jasmine Cornish took The Tyler to the front, angling between runners to get there soon after the start.

Once there, she dictated the pace throughout the chase to the home turn and, on straightening, The Tyler kicked on strongly early in the straight to open up what would turn out to be a winning lead.

Joy Too All ($6.50) and Hallowed Girl ($19) did put in spirited late challenges but, not for the first time, Cornish’s good judgement had ensured that The Tyler had done enough to get the job done … and victory was his by a 0.75 length margin.
