    Texican- watch the drive Dexter gives him + Ideal Scott

    G'day all,

    Am a bit slow in posting this however...
    for those who haven't seen it, watch the replay of the NRM 3yo colts & geldings Sires Stakes Final at Addington last Tuesday & closely follow the drive Dexter Dunn gives Cran Dalgety's colt Texican. Absolutely beautiful stuff. IMO it's one of the best I've seen in a very long time.
    Also watch for John Devlin's colt Ideal Scott charging home from damned near last to finish a half length behind Texican. Two outstanding horses there.

    Great Drive by Dexter alright. I think most horses in that field, particularly the first four, we will see a lot more of in the years to come.

    Compare that to his drive on Alchemist at Ashburton 2 days later. Not the best but the filly still came back and won.

    On the contrary Don, Dex has driven most of the horses from the stable including his first win back from the US on Real Kamwood. Just think that his drive on Alchemist was not his best and he could have lost the race had the filly not been too good for them.

    They all toss in a not so flash one now and again Peter. I'd forgive him that. Dexter on a bad day is still going to better than most on the very best day of their lives. I've seen some great drives over the years and that NRM Sires Final effort with Texican is up there in my Top 5. I really feel for John Devlin and Co. It took no less than an absolute blinder by a great driver aboard a very talented horse in Texican for Ideal Scott to finish in 2nd place.

    When he pushed out in the straight and the horse outside of him galloped, I thought he may have been relegated. Glad he didn't. I had a goood go on him that day.

    Glad you did Arnie. Just watch out for her in the Fillies race on New Years Eve. I think we have got the others covered this time round. Should be a great race
