Queenslander, Speak The Truth secures a berth…
QUEENSLAND could challenge Victoria for most runners in the TAB Eureka.
Victoria leads the way with three confirmed starters at present with Catch A Wave, Captain Ravishing and The Lost Storm.
Leap To Fame has been joined by Shannon Price’s exciting Speak The Truth following his deserved and outstanding win in the inaugural $231,000 The Hayden at Albion Park last night.
It was Speak The Truth’s 11th win from just 19 starts and bounced-back quickly from the first finishing position worse than fourth in his career when seventh to Leap To Fame in the Rising Sun a week earlier.
There was lots to like about Speak The Truth finding plenty after sitting parked and ripping home in blistering splits to win The Hayden.
Another to press his case for a TAB Eureka slot last Saturday night was Tims A Trooper, a stablemate of Leap To Fame who has and probably always will live in his daunting shadow.
But Tims A Trooper ran almost the same time as Leap To Fame winning a support race and edged very close to $350,000 in career earnings.
There’s no doubt he’s gone to another level this season and there aren’t many other TAB Eureka contenders putting their hand up as impressively at Tims A Trooper in recent times.
