Blind Raise (NZ) Earns Guineas Favouritism 💸 Karaka 2025 graduate #BlindRaise (NZ) (Ace High) rose to favouritism for next month’s Group One Caulfield Guineas (1600m) with a runaway performance in the A$300,000 Group Three Sportsbet Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400m) on Saturday.🏆 Offered by breeders The @OaksStud Stud in Book 1 of Karaka 2025, Blind Raise was bought by trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young for $70,000. He has now had five starts for four wins and A$440,475 in stakes. A black-type winner as a two-year-old in the Listed ANZAC Day Stakes (1400m), Blind Raise resumed on a stakes-winning note earlier this month in the Listed McKenzie Stakes (1300m) at Sandown on September 5. “We had to work a little bit early, and I wanted to give him a bit of a breather, which we did. And then they came at him with that mid-race move. But when they took off, he just came up underneath me really nicely. He won as he liked in the end and untouched. “He was off a two-week back-up into today, after only one trial into his first-up run, so I’m pleased he’s got three weeks now into the Guineas. Trent and Natalie can do what they like with him and it’s exciting. “He’s a $70,000 horse from New Zealand by Ace High, it’s just great and I’m really looking forward to the Caulfield Guineas.” “He will go into the Guineas without another run. It was a two-week turnaround without a break and it’s three weeks to the Guineas now and then possibly another two weeks to the Cox Plate (Group One, 2040m).” Read further here 👉📰: nzb.co.nz/news/blind-raise-n… 📸: Bruno Cannatelli
