Pounding keeps on keeping on
Peter Moody was happy to be proven a ‘mug’ by Pounding, who registered the first Black Type win of his career in the $200,000 Group 3 Carlyon Cup.
The 1600m event was the 10th run on of a campaign that started on July 23 for the son of Exceed And Excel and Moody was happy to see his trainer’s pre-race concerns.
“He’s just really in the zone,” Moody said.
“I thought I saw a few tell-tale signs that he might have been coming towards the end of his prep – ears back and a little bit cantankerous, which isn’t usually him – but he’s made a mug out of me, thankfully.”
Pounding stretched his record to seven wins – six of which have come on Good tracks – from 21 starts with the win and Moody said with the lure of the $5 million All-Star Mile at The Valley, where is a two-time winner, meant he wouldn’t be turned out just yet.
“The All-Star Mile, is that being run on a dry track this year?” Moody mused.
“He’s in the noms. Punters, he might be one to vote for, hey?”
