  • Full Press Chasing Three in Succession Today

    Tuesday, 25th May 2021

    Promising 3YO gelding Full Press (Press Statement-Max it Out, by Northern Meteor) will be chasing three wins in succession in race six at Armidale today, reports racingnsw.com.au. Trainer Brett Dodson is keen to see the gelding at the track where he is two from two. "I wanted to give him a little break after his last win as I would like to nominate him for Grafton Guineas in July," Dodson said. "He has been a slow maturing horse who has started to grow into himself and find his legs when he gallops. I told the owners they would have to be patient with the horse as it would take time for him to produce his best. I gave him a jump out last week and he went well so I can't see any reason why he won run well again." Dodson noted, "He is up in grade with 60 kilograms and against some horses that have won more races. It's the most weight he has carried, but he is a big gangly horse and I think he will be alright." Full Press first raced in July 2020 as a 2YO where he ran third on debut, and then had six further starts for only one second placing. He found form in his last two starts, winning both, and now has a record of two wins from nine starts. Full Press was a $40,000 purchase from the New Zealand Bloodstock 2YO Sale from the draft of Kiltannon Stables.
