Private Harry, a rising star in Australian horse racing, is moving closer to a major race as he continues his impressive winning streak. This talented three-year-old colt remains unbeaten after three races, including his latest victory in the Petaluma Handicap at Rosehill on Saturday, 7 December 2024. Trainer Nathan Doyle has been pleased with his performance, despite the challenging wet conditions. With the Magic Millions Sunlight race on the horizon, Private Harry is poised to make a big splash in the racing world.
Private Harry’s Impressive Winning Streak
Private Harry has shown great promise since his debut, winning all three of his races so far. In his latest victory at Rosehill, Private Harry faced soft track conditions, which made it harder for him to perform at his best. However, the colt still managed to secure a solid win with a 1-1/4 length margin over runner-up Unleeshing. Trainer Nathan Doyle believes that on better ground, Private Harry could have finished with an even bigger margin.
Doyle is confident that his colt is still improving and has a lot more potential. “He’s getting out of the gates so well, he’s putting himself in a nice position, which is half the battle,” said Doyle. “He’s got good racecraft, and for a colt, he is so manageable.” This combination of talent and good temperament makes Private Harry a strong contender in future races.
The Road to the Magic Millions Sunlight
Private Harry’s next major race is the $3 million Magic Millions Sunlight at the Gold Coast on January 4, 2025. The colt has been selected for the B2B Thoroughbred’s slot in this prestigious event, and Doyle plans to take him straight to the race without another run in between. “He’s got the job done, I’m sure he will pull up fine and we’ll just map our path to the Gold Coast now,” said Doyle.
Jockey Ashley Morgan, who has ridden Private Harry in all three of his starts, praised the colt for his perseverance during the Rosehill race. “Just when I went for him at first, it was like his wheels spun, and he just got a little uncomfortable. Usually he will zip off for you, but today he just took a little while. It shows he’s got plenty of heart as well because he was able to keep finding,” Morgan explained.
