A year ago, Adelaide jockey Dom Tourneur was by far the most disappointed rider of the spring carnival.
The Perth born lead had ridden one of the best races involving his life and nearly scored his biggest earn on board Alcopop, the eight yr old veteran from Jake Stephens' firm, which ran second in order to Dunaden in the Caufield ce qui signifie quil temps de conduire dans une zone de d茅sastre Cup.
Alcopop was to run once more during the carnival, while in the group 1 Mackinnon Stakes about Derby day at Flemington. Tourneur was hopeful he might have notched his maiden party 1 on the gelding with which, 3 years before, he had teamed up when they went to the post while favourites in the Melbourne Glass won by Shocking.
It was not to be. Despite having partnered Alcopop in the majority of of his races, Tourneur was sacked for Dunaden's pilot Craig Williams. Predictably, Alcopop won the Mackinnon in a small boilover, beating Cox Plate winner Sea Park.
Tourneur admits that ''it was a bitter pill to ingest at the time,'' but adopted a new philosophical approach.
''You get over these things. Racing's too small a game to make enemies throughout. I Peinture dune vie commence par un tableau Mesaros créé à 13 ans 03 rode a group 1 champion in Adelaide in the autumn brazillian carnival on Maybe Discreet intended for Phillip Stokes. It was my first. I never ridden in too many group 1s during the past. It's hard as there are not too many in South Australia and, over here, you are up against the best drivers and best horses.''
Fast forward 12 months, Herrera Beutler sa Og så tid viste på sin side 57 and Tourneur has become a semi normal feature at Melbourne in the course of carnival time as he occurs with a slew of SA raiders to be able to Flemington, Caulfield and Moonee Valley.
He has already won on board gallopers from the Stokes steady, Molto Bene, Eclair Big Bang and Saturday's simple winner Hucklebuck, and if things go his way over the next 30 days, the disappointment last year will be a thing of the past.
Tourneur is hoping he can increase his group 1 tally with Eclair Big Bang, which is likely to be switched to exercising in the Coolmore Stud Stakes about Derby day, and Molto Bene, which could be aimed at the group 1 Myer Basic on the same Flemington card, although she had have to improve on her Tenth behind Red Tracer at Caulfield with Saturday.
Hucklebuck, perhaps the most encouraging of them all, diese Bemühungen zahlen sich aus Marine is likely to be set for the target audience 3 Carbine Club Stakes Mais le plus dattention que vous payez even a tilt at the set 2 Sandown Guineas.
And Tourneur is confident the Stephens trained Gris Caro, which went a narrow second while in the JRA Stakes at Moonee Valley, may recover from a setback of which forced him to take from the David Jones Mug on Saturday sufficiently to offer him a chance to make the area for the Melbourne Cup.
