Sixtygeesbaby

What is most interesting about Sixtygeesbaby is how much he has matured as a racehorse. When he first ran at Windsor, he was green and had not filled out properly, but O'Meara notes that the penny has dropped now. The trainer describes him as having a wonderful attitude and real battling spirit—the kind of horse that puts his head down and fights when it counts. That grit showed in his recent Carlisle win, where he was very resolute under pressure. He is a half-brother to Rogue Lightning, and O'Meara has also been running a related horse that won impressively at Doncaster last month, suggesting the family has genuine ability. The yard itself is in fine form, having sent out 101 winners already this season, so Sixtygeesbaby is in capable hands as he continues to develop. With his last outing just a day ago, he remains active and in contention, and the yard are looking at opportunities in stronger company—including a valuable handicap at Newmarket—as he proves he belongs at the higher end of the Class 4 bracket and perhaps beyond.
