Stuart McDonald, the Serpentine trainer-reinsman, is optimistic about the future of Madam Publisher, a four-year-old mare who showcased impressive gate speed in the $21,000 Trotsynd Syndication Pace at Gloucester Park. The race saw Madam Publisher, the $2.10 favorite, surge to the front from the No. 6 barrier, dictating a brisk pace to clinch victory by nearly two lengths over Thelittle Master and Ideal Muscle, who finished second and third, respectively.
Madam Publisher, a New Zealand-bred mare, dominated the race with consistent speed, clocking quarters of 29.2sec., 28.9sec., 28.4sec., and 29.3sec. She crossed the finish line in 1.55.5, improving her record to nine wins, four placings, and $145,063 from 17 starts. McDonald praised her high-speed capabilities but noted her relative inexperience and mental readiness for top-tier competition.
Despite her potential to match the best, McDonald believes Madam Publisher still needs seasoning before taking on elite mares. He contemplated her participation in the upcoming Empress Stakes but hinted at a strategic approach to target major mare races later in the season. Observing her comfort during the race, McDonald expressed confidence in her ability to progress further and hinted at future improvements.
Madam Publisher, sired by Rock N Roll Heaven and bred from Bettors Delight mare Hot Off The Press, boasts a pedigree rooted in success. Her half-brother, Its Electrifying, recently triumphed in Brisbane, showcasing his own racing prowess. Their dam, Hot Off The Press, is a descendant of the illustrious mare Classical, known for her remarkable achievements on the track.
Classical’s legacy includes multiple wins at prestigious events, highlighting the family’s racing pedigree. Madam Publisher’s lineage traces back to a lineage of successful racehorses, underscoring her potential for future triumphs on the track. With promising performances from her relatives and her own demonstrated speed and talent, Madam Publisher represents a formidable force in harness racing.
