In a radio interview, trainer Joe Pride discusses his weekend runners, focusing on Private Eye's bid in the PB Lawrence Stakes at Caulfield. Despite drawing gate 12, Pride is confident, explaining that outside barriers suit the horse because they allow him to settle and avoid early overuse, unlike inside draws that force him to burn energy. Private Eye, a proven performer at the track and trip with two wins from two starts there, including last year's race, remains in excellent condition. Pride dismisses concerns about his age and praises his resilience, while acknowledging Cosmic Crusader as a smart horse but questioning if he can match the required level. Moving to Rosehill, Pride highlights Attica, a gelding who underperformed as a colt but now trials sharper and more focused, making his resumption a winnable opportunity. He also mentions Arbola, who should improve second-up with a good draw. At Newcastle, Proximate Centauri is progressing well, but Real McCoy has yet to show ability. When asked to choose a best bet among his three main runners, Pride selects Private Eye, though he humorously notes he would never split the $100 stake across multiple horses. The segment concludes with promotion of upcoming interviews and the Corfield Cup carnival presale.

He's an absolute gun and he's got the superstar old boy going around in private eye speak of Joe. Pride Joe, good morning to you mate. Good morning. Hey, uh, core field, you bring the horse down for the PB Lawrence and you get gate 12. I know Nash is a master but it's a tad tricky old gate 12 isn't it? You got the visitors draw. Yeah, yeah, look outside gates aren't too bad a thing for the source. He's drawn a lot of him in his life. Actually, and he's running some of his best race from there because what happens from inside gates quite often. And is you've got to use him up a little bit. And I don't mind him showing speed, but if he doesn't jump that well, use him up and then you've got the other horses sort of pressing on the outside and it's a little bit harder to judge. We're from the outside. You can just sort of come across and take Nash likes that he can just take his time. Come across like this. The three speed horses are drawn 11 12 13. Yeah, so this is all going to come across together evaporate him and so what was the course drawn right outside the Melbourne Halls? Evaporate him and a soul of Spain. No, no, no, um Cosmic Crusader. No, no, no, no, the the one drawn 13 neutral 13. So I haven't got in front of me. 13 is, um, I don't have any more fun to me here either. Regal Zeus. Regal Zeus. I found it. Johnny McCartle. Yeah, I don't I'm not totally sure whether Johnny will have that horse running. We had him on a little bit earlier. Okay. Okay, it wouldn't be bad thing if he didn't. So anyway, those the speed horses will come across. He'll find his way up near the front that's where he likes to be, particularly if tracks are affected and ready to run a bowl race super in the Stradbroke, totally unsuríd of suited by the conditions on the day. Ran out of his skin with a big weight and he likes his track. He races well there and and one, you know, obviously won this race last year. So I'm in the races pretty confident in your run well. Can't line up cosmic crusader looks pretty smart horse, but he's probably got to come up to privatize level. Um, I know he's a group one winner in Perth, but um, bit of a different, different level when you get to this and states, isn't it? So yeah, I agree with you. I think the placement is perfect. You've done it before. You two from two track and trip. You bring it here. My only concern was that gate, but I love how you put it in regards to to maybe being able to roll across. I mean, this horse was super going back that run an eagle farm behind headly Grains and Jimmy star. I mean, he just keeps doing it for you, doesn't he? He is a star. He's amazing also and you know, long jeopardy has been, um, one of his great qualities. And um, I haven't seen anything from him in the last month or two that was just to me that he's finished. You know, like he's, he's, he's in great, great shape mentally and physically. And I don't see why he wouldn't run really well again. Let's move up to Rose Hill and in race number nine, you've got a couple of runners here. I'll start with Attica. This four year old Lonro Gilding looks to have quite a bit of ability. I mean, he's bumped into a couple of good ones. So before, isn't he? Yeah, he has an, and you know, the bar was set very high for him as a cult because he needed to stand up and win group one. He had one one. You want to spring champion, but came back in the autumn and wasn't, wasn't quite the same horse. Being a cult was, was, was struggling him. And he's obviously gilded now. And I think that's going to be the making of this horse. Resumes in a very winnable race. And a lovies trials much sharper, different horse. If you watch him, anyone who's interested or who's a bit of a trial watch, if you watch him trial last, the last or any time in his previous preparations compared to this preparation, different horse, trialling sharper, more complete, more focused. So looking forward to it. Yeah, well, it can certainly sharpen you up when you get rid of the two things between your legs. Yeah, so now, and the last troll did look very good. By tornado value, that, that, that, and Jimmy star mod I add, you've got Arbola in the race as well. There goes second up and draw on a nice gate. Yep, nice mayor. Um, takes a little bit of racing to get to a peak. Should be, should be out sort of sitting a reasonable sort of tempo in front and she'll, uh, sure on well, but there's good improvement to come. Before I get to the couple at Newcastle, uh, if I gave you $100 out of the, out of your three over the weekend, um, be private, I'd be your best. Um, yeah, but yeah, all right. I got, but yeah, I never split it. So you've got to go to the all up there. Yeah, yeah, we'll take out of it into private. I you're never split it. Hey, you've got a couple going at Newcastle. I've had a few texts come in this morning asking about your run as they. You've got one eight proximate centauri and five one, the real McCoy. Proximate centauri, um, improving with each run, going well, being happy with her. The other bloke real McCoy. I'm not sure if you use the real McCoy. He hasn't done much so far. Uh, only fingers crossed there. Uh, Joe, appreciate your time. As always, love following your horses best of luck throughout the spring. Mate and, uh, we'll keep an eye on Attica and private eyes. They go through their spring campaigns. Great. Thank you very much. Joe pride there. Uh, and a nice push for private eye. Just don't let that horse get under your guard at Corfield. And what we are going to do is when we do, it's Gator's game plan, but Corfield featuring Pete Ante and it's one of the best in the business. We're going to do Sydney featuring Mick Ganon. That is on the other side of this. And we'll talk about how you we're going to line up, uh, Cosmic Crusader, uh, V, a horse like private eye who is two from two track and trippin.
