Kennedy confident in White Robe charge

Wingatui trainer Terry Kennedy will have a host of runners on a bumper day at his home track on Saturday, including in-form galloper Ray’s In Command in the Gr.3 White Robe Lodge Weight For Age (1600m).

The winner of three of his past four starts, the five-year-old son of Raise The Flag is rated a $4.20 equal favourite with top-rated galloper Gallant Boy.

 “He’s a pretty good galloper. He couldn’t have won any easier the other day,” Kennedy said.

“With Sam Weatherley suspended I was lucky enough to get Chris Johnson back on. He knows the horse and track.

“I know he is not that suited by weight-for-age but it’s a $70,000 race on your back door, you’ve got to have a go.

“No doubt Gallant Boy’s a good horse but our guy is going through the grades and hasn’t done anything wrong and I feel he’s improved since his run two weeks ago. I think he’s going to be hard to beat.”

Kennedy also rated Secret Sound ($6) a good prospect of winning the final event on the card.
