Runs of the Month | February 2024

Form expert Dale Code has picked out a selection of runs that have caught the eye from around Victoria over the past month.

#1 SUCCEED (Box 6)
Breeding: Feb ‘21 Fernando Bale x Naughty Cazza
Trainer: Kayla Cottrell
Record: 27 starts 11-6–4

Dale says: Given the trouble he found and to make up the ground he did against some of the best 600m runners in the land makes this win as outstanding as any seen this year.

#2 PALAWA KING (Box 3)
Breeding: Jan ‘21 Feral Franky x Maximum Dos
Trainer: Ray ‘Jack’ Smith
Record: 58 starts 24-10-11

Dale says: Easily could have been no.1. The Bold Trease of the modern era. In trademark fashion Palawa King gave his rivals a big start and powered home through a traffic of runners to record this eye-catching last-to-first victory.

#3 CUTHBERT BINNS (Box 5)
Breeding:
Dec ‘21 Walk Hard X Polijuice Potion
Trainer: Lisa Cockerell
Record: 24 starts 5-3-4

Dale says: You will be hard pressed to find a complete outsider ($19.20) getting absolutely poleaxed early and coming from last to win, but that’s exactly what Cuthbert Binns managed to do in this brilliant victory.

Good thing beaten…

PIGWIDGEON (Box 5)
Breeding:
Feb ‘21 Fernando Bale x Polijuice Potion
Trainer: Ian Cockerell
Record: 41 starts 4-7-4

Dale says: After completely making a meal of the start, Pigwidgeon mad up a ridiculous amount of ground and, if it wasn’t for checking off the heels of a runner in the home straight, he could have pulled off a remarkable win.
