A bold ride by inform jock Jason Maskiell saw Bolden Beau lead from start to finish to salute at the juicy odds of $21.00 in the Bet 365 1980m Maiden Plate on a heavy 9 track at Tatura.
Mick and Donna had a plan for Beau to jump, go forward and take up the running, Maskiell, acting on those instruction, expertly executed it and had Beau leading from the get go.
Over racing early, Maskiell had his hands full trying to get him to settle, eventually winning the battle he had Beau putting his mind on the job. His opponents threw everything at him but, under vigorous riding, Beau, showing a liking for the heavy track, held solid and fought off all comers going on to lead from start to finish, winning by half a length.
Congratulations to all connections who have shown faith and patience as Beau has had to overcome early set backs and immaturity. Congratulations also to team Cornish/Gaskin for finding the right race and coming up with a well educated plan.
