Larry goes woosh, sprinting the fastest sectionals of the night at Albion Park

With the brand of speed Larry Lincoln showed at Albion Park in Brisbane on Tuesday night he should reward Lincoln Farms’ owners John and Lynne Street with plenty more wins.

The little pacer, handled patiently by driver Hayden Barnes, came from third last with a dazzling sprint four wide round the home turn to score in a 1:54 flat mile rate for the 1660 metres.

Larry Lincoln is just too fast for his rivals at Albion Park on Tuesday night.In winning his third race on end by 1.8 metres, Larry Lincoln posted easily the fastest sectionals of the meeting - 54.59 and 26.97.

Barnes’ dad, Al, who has trained Larry Lincoln to win four of his six starts since arriving in Queensland, said the horse was exceeding even his expectations now.

“That was impressive. Hayden said he didn’t think he’d sprint that quickly but he just keeps improving every time he goes round.

“He’s pacing well and trying hard.”

While Larry Lincoln will advance to a 64 rating now, Barnes said with a five point age concession he will still be eligible for rating 55 to 60 races, like last night.

Lincoln Farms’ stablemate Man Of Action also recorded the fastest last 800 metres in his event, 56.29, sustaining a long three wide run when a two metre second to Nimah Franco.

The race was run a little slower than Larry Lincoln’s event, the 1660 metres taking 1:58.4, a mile rate of 1:54.8.

“He’s a tough bread and butter horse that you’d love to own as he keeps earning cheques.”

Stable big hitter Northview Hustler was due to resume on Saturday night but when only five horses accepted for the race it was canned.

He will now trial between races on Thursday night, which Barnes said should tighten him up nicely for a race the following Saturday.

“He’ll have a quiet trial then he’ll be ready to go.”

Larry Lincoln ran easily the fastest sectionals in the race, making up 13.2 metres on the leader over the last 800 metres.
