 Bank Robber The awesome turn of foot the six-year-old showed to come from last stamped him as Australia’s best sprinter/miler. But less than a length behind him on the line was a horse who is arguably one of Australia’s toughest in that category, and perhaps most underrated. The horse in question is Bank Robber who finished third, a head behind boom three-year-old Wanted. At five, Bank Robber has had 15 starts, seven of them in Group 1 races. While he is yet to win at the highest level, he has weighed in on five of those seven occasions. Bank Robber’s gutsy placings bring back memories of his sire, Dash For Cash , who ran second in each of his last four starts, all in Group 1 races, over five weeks in two states from 1200m to 1600m, after leading at the 200m. In Bank Robber’s two starts this preparation he has been up there leading, beating off the other on-pace runners before narrowly succumbing to high-quality swoopers (All Silent this time, Apache Cat last time.) Two starts ago Bank Robber’s effort to lead Lucky Secret at Moonee Valley took most observers by surprise. Not so those fans who remember him on debut winning by 7.5 lengths in Sydney, running a course record. Last Saturday’s run in the Patinack almost brought a career high, with some punters lamenting that jockey Blake Shinn may have kicked for home 50m early. Still Bank Robber’s career to date reads well as it is. Take out his two failures on heavy going in Queensland (both Group 1’s) and two failures at Rosehill and his record would read 11 starts for five wins including a Group 3 and a listed race, two Group 1 seconds, two thirds (group 1 and Group 2) a Group 1 fourth and a Group 1 fifth. He gave weight to Theseo when second in the Epsom, he gave weight to All Silent in the Emirates and he gave weight to another underrated horse, Gilded Venom, in the Railway. On paper, in all those cases the winners were better performed than him at the time. Now racing at weight-for-age, it is taking very good horses to run him down. Victoria’s Swettenham Stud, home to Dash For Cash and Tasmanian breeder Graeme McLeod will be hoping Bank Robber “get’s away with one” in the autumn. Winning Post - Nov 14, 2009. |
