Sydney trainer Joe Pride, a master of timing when it comes to using blinkers on his horses, is playing down their importance to Tattersalls Club Cup favourite Destiny's Kiss at Randwick today.
One of the hard-luck stories of Sydney racing over the past month, Destiny's Kiss is a confirmed starter
in the listed race as he sports blinkers for the first time.
"It's probably neither here nor there because he's been wearing winkers so it's only a slight adjustment," Pride said yesterday.
"But it's a matter of trying to extract everything out of him."
The winner of two races in his first campaign for Pride during the winter, Destiny's Kiss found trouble when midfield in the Villiers Stakes.
