Derby hopes remain after maiden win Fri, 20 Jan 2012  - Magnum's horse
Barney kept alive his chances of a start in the Telecom New Zealand Derby with a stout staying performance that took him out of maiden grade at Matamata today.

Dropping back in class from a third in the Listed Championship Stakes Prelude (2100m) at Ellerslie in early December and a sixth in the Gr. 2 Championship Stakes over the same course and distance on New Year’s Day, the Duelled gelding was a solidly backed favourite. Victory was no foregone conclusion, however, coming only after stern home-straight battle with brave second starter Tilda before Barney was able to claim the Wrightson Equine Supplies 2000.

At the line the Craig Grylls-ridden Barney held a long neck advantage over Tilda, a Ustinov filly having just her second start after finishing fourth on debut three weeks earlier.

“He’s still got a way to go before we can say he’s a genuine Derby contendor, but he’s already stakes-placed over ground, so we’ve really go to keep pushing,” said Wayne Herbert, wife of trainer Anne Herbert and a partner in Barney’s ownership. “A race like the Waikato Guineas might be the way to go now.”

Barney, an $11,000 purchase by the Herberts from the Festival session of the 2010 National Yearling Sale, is now quoted at $21 on the TAB’s fixed odds market for the New Zealand Derby on March 3 after being a $61 prospect when betting opened in late November.

“He’s a lovely big horse, really more of a long term staying prospect, but while he’s in form he’s worth taking to the next stage and seeing what happens,” Herbert added.

Thirteen out of nineteen races won at Auckland and New Plymouth trained on Horse Walkers.
