KO RACING ON THE MARK WITH MUST BE THE MONEY

By Graham Potter | Saturday, June 15, 2024

KO Racing played its part in an exceptional weekend for the Coray and Kylie Geran stable who saddled five winners over two days on Friday June 14 and Saturday June 15.

Team Geran was on fire saddling a long-priced quinella at the Sunshine Coast on Friday, before landing a double at both Warwick and Toowoomba on Saturday.

Must Be The Money, racing in the distinctive pink and white checks and navy blue silks with the KO Racing logos ... was one of Team Geran’s two winners at Warwick, where the daughter of No Nay Never started as a $2 favourite and duly shed her Maiden ticket at the eighth time of asking when stepping out to the 1350m trip for the first time.

The three-year-old landed in the leading line, but Landan Sykes was content to let the speed go, and he settled the Geran trained runner in fourth place early, racing some four lengths off the lead ... but he wasn’t going to stay there for long.

In the approach to the home turn Sykes gave Must Be The Money more rein and the three-year-old filly responded on cue, doing it easy ... although three wide ... to quickly cut back the deficit to the degree that she was in the lead by the time the field straightened for home.

From there it was simply no contest when Must Be The Money drawing clear of her opposition without any undue fuss to embarrass her nearest rival to the tune of 5.30 lengths ... and that was with Must Be The Money easing up over the final strides.
