Joe Pride's Accredited notched his third consecutive win, overcoming aggressive riding and changing circumstances to prevail at Randwick. Jockey Josh Parr praised the horse's adaptability.
Trainer Joe Pride believes Accredited will be better again next preparation after he effortlessly overcame what jockey Josh Parr called 'bizarre circumstances' to make it three on the trot on Saturday at Randwick . A $1.50 favourite in the five-horse benchmark 88 handicap over 1400m, Accredited charged to the lead from gate one but was then headed by Ang Pow, which made a sustained run three wide under Molly Bourke to cross.
Parr, who had a winning treble on the day, was able to come around Ang Pow soon after to lead again on the bend before Accredited, now with six wins in 13 starts, powered to an almost four-length victory. 'It seemed like there was a little bit of aggressive riding against him, and you expect that,' Pride said. 'You are not going to get any races handed to you here in Sydney. Small fields can make that quite tricky at times, but Josh obviously handled him really well and the horse adapted to a different situation again, which is good for him going forward.' Pride said the five-year-old had thrived on dry tracks this preparation and would be better again next time in. He was unsure if Accredited would go for a spell but ruled out a shot next week at the $500,000 The Lakes (1600m) at Wyong. 'I’d like to find another race like that, a five-horse field, that doesn’t happen very often, so we’ll see how he pulls up,' he said. Parr said: 'I had to ride the race on three different horses then, and he was able to overcome some bizarre circumstances, and then he put them away quite well.' Parr made it a double when Bjorn Baker-trained Disneck again came from well back to blitz his rivals. It was three wins for the Trapeze Artist gelding at Randwick across three weeks.Parr was aboard on December 14, but he was riding at Eagle Farm last week when Zac Lloyd took Disneck to victory. After watching Lloyd’s post-win video to connections, Parr responded with some friendly bante
