Five on the Bounce for Shamus Award's Incentivise

Mark Smith - Saturday June 19

Brae Sokolski and Ozzie Kheir would have breathed a little easier when the odd-on favourite Incentivise put a space on thirteen overmatched rivals in Saturday’s QTIS Provincial Stayers Final (2500m) at Ipswich.

Sokolski and Kheir purchased a 50 per cent interest in the Steve Tregea-trained son of Shamus Award following his last start nine length romp at Eagle Farm.

Ridden by Anthony Allen, Incentivise defeated Accessory (Epaulette) by nine and a half lengths with a further half-length back to Tavion Prince (Tavistock) in third.

It was the fifth consecutive win for the 4yo gelding, set to be transferred to Peter Moody after the present preparation.

Moody said he would like to see Incentivise target the Caloundra Cup or Grafton Cup to get his rating up. However, Tregea indicated that Incentivise might have done enough for the preparation.

“There is a possibility he will run in the Caloundra Cup; they are keen to do that. I think he’s had enough, although he is not showing that in the feed bin,” Tregea said.

“We will see how he does and bide our time.”

“He has not beaten good horses yet, but the way he is doing it, everyone likes it, and he must have a big set of lungs on him to do what he is doing.”

Incentivise is a half-brother to three stakes-winners, the Group III ARC Concorde Handicap winner Ardrossan (Redoute’s Choice) and Listed winners  Cheyenne Warrior (Not A Single Doubt) and Bergerac (Drumbeats), who won the 2019 Ipswich Cup.

A sister to dual Listed winner Diamondsondinside, Incentivise’s dam Miss Argyle (Iglesia), died in September last year. Her final live foal is an unraced 3yo Golden Archer gelding named Argyle Lane.
