Smart colt back in work

Talented colt Aim Smart is back at Tony Pike’s Cambridge quarters.

“We’ll be taking him along quietly and then get his confidence up with a win or two on the good tracks hopefully,” he said.

An impressive winner of his only juvenile start, Aim Smart finished runner-up in the Gr.3 Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) in the spring before a succession of rain-affected tracks cut short his preparation for the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m).

Meanwhile, his stablemates and fellow three-year-olds Bostonian and Felton Road are still spelling.
“Felton Road is due back soon, he unfortunately had a stifle injury after the Hawke’s Bay Guineas,” Pike said.
