Albury trainer chasing second successive win with Supplyzing

The five-year-old has left Hulm and his connections bewildered at times, but his two-and-a-half length win a fortnight ago is a positive for the Benchmark 66 (1500m) on the club’s Cox Plate meet.

Short and Twilight Maneuver filled the placings as Supplyzing dominated the last 200m.

Supplyzing will carry an extra two and a half kilograms (59), but he will have one other important piece of equipment.

“We put blinkers on him for the first time and he was a lot better,” Hulm said.

“I would just like to see him do everything right again. Sometimes you would swear it’s his first start the way he races.

“If he does everything right, he isn’t a bad horse.”

Supplyzing was bred by his owners, which includes Hulm, and his daughter Donna Scott, who will also have a starter at Albury.

Maiden galloper Thunder Tub ran the race of his life to finish second at huge odds the same day as Supplyzing’s victory.

 “He started at $40 and almost won. It was his first start for Donna and finished off really well,” Hulm said of Thunder Tub.

The stablemates will be ridden by Blaike McDougall, who is the partner of Scott’s daughter, Dannielle.

The veteran trainer expects Supplyzing to showcase his unpredictable, but undoubted, talent.

“Blaike said after winning on him at Wagga earlier this year that the horse gave him the worse ride of his life,” Hulm said.

“The horse hasn’t had a lot of starts and can still be wayward, but the blinkers worked last time.”

“He will go close if he races like he did last time.”
