Thermodynamic

Imported galloper Thermodynamic gave trainers Aaron Bain and Ned Taylor a winning double at the Morphettville Parks twilight meeting on Friday, October 11.

Given a perfect run by jockey Jason Holder, Thermodynamic raced away in the home straight to win the Sportsbet Handicap (1400m) by 2-3/4 lengths to add to the victory of Nullify earlier in the day for the trainers.

Bred in Ireland and previously trained by the Hawkes partnership, then Chris Waller, the five-year-old has had two wins and two seconds from just five runs for Bain and Taylor.

Thermodynamic ($5.50) sat fourth early off a good tempo before dashing away to win easily from Falaise ($7) with Next Dimension ($20), a length away third, Trainer Aaron Bain said Thermodynamic had been a good purchase for Aaron Bain Racing.

“He just put in one shocker at the end of last preparation, and we turned him out,” Bain said.

“He was good today and with two wins and two seconds he has been a good horse for us.

“We probably made a bit of a mistake at the end of last preparation taking the blinkers off.

“We turned him out knowing we were going to Angaston Park and bring him back fresh, thinking he will get 2000 metres this time in.

“Today we thought the 1400 metres might be a bit sharp but told ‘Stubby’ to ride him like the best horse in the race and be confident.

“Thermodynamic is lightly raced and got plenty ahead of him, and in his favour, the distance racing here in Adelaide have smaller fields and can drop away so there are plenty of options.

“The Angaston Park hill has done him wonders.”

Winning jockey Jason Holder said Thermodynamic had sprinted very well.

“He was good, we thought he would run well, he was well placed,” Holder said.

“He presented himself lovely, but I thought I might have got there a bit soon.

“I just didn’t want to get there too early, and if something come past me, I would have been dirty on myself.

“But he presented himself nice and was good to the line.

“I thought his trial was quite good the other day, I rode as horse behind him, but thought he was stronger than mine, so I rode him confidently today.

“I think he will benefit from the run but now has to take the next step and go a grade higher.
