It’s probably heresy to mention Meat Loaf’s
name in Grand Final week, but the rotund warbler was once famous for belting
out a tune, Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad.
Well, prolific young sire, God’s Own, has
made a couple of adjustments for inflation and yesterday went like a bat out of
hell with four winners from just five starters.
Fresh from a thrilling win at Doomben on
Wednesday with the speedy Man of Money, God’s Own kicked off with a double at
Seymour to Cool God (ex. Canny Lady mare Freezing Point) and Canonized (ex.
Rather Grand by Grand Lodge), along with victories to Lady Pania (ex. Tannadice
Park by Rory’s Jester) in Queensland and God’s Secret (ex. Secret Trick by
Fasliyev) in South Australia.
It could easily have been a clean sweep for
the day when God Help Us (ex. By Any Means by Stravinsky) was sent out
favourite in the Australian Sun Energy Handicap at Mt Gambier after winning at
his previous outing, but he dwelt at the start before running on solidly for fourth.
Overall, it was difficult to isolate one
from the quality quartet: Lady Pania was having only her second run up north
and won comfortably as favourite, stretching her earnings out to over $100k,
while the lightly tried Canonized raced like the favourite he was by scoring
over the mile.
On the other hand, Cool God looks like he’s
going places for the Ellerton/Zahra duet and it was just desserts for God’s
Secret who has been knocking on the door since resuming in July.
Now, while Mr Loaf is not likely to be
wanted or needed by anyone in the sporting sphere anytime soon, we can name you
four sets of owners that love their God! Amen.
