Chapter two in Lumineer’s long-awaited sequel will be scripted at Geelong tonight and Ange McDowell’s extraordinarily talented five-year-old is well placed to produce a happy ending.
The Sportswriter entire, unbeaten except for an injury plagued Victoria Derby in January last year, was clinical in winning at Terang on September 11, when he was first-up after an almost 21-month lay-off.
“It was good,” trainer McDowell said. “He did everything that we wanted him to do and what he is capable of doing first up after 20 months. He pulled up well and through to the next assignment.”
That is tonight’s R U OK? Pace at Geelong tonight (9pm) and, speaking to Blake Redden for the Inside Word, McDowell said the run had “really brought him on the run, reminded him what it’s all about and what he’s there for”.
