澳大利亚赛马训练师乔·普赖德在完成强劲的2025-26赛季后，正为新赛季制定更高的目标 [1]。普赖德本赛季共赢得都市赛事40场胜利、一级赛4场和分级赛16场 [1]。眼下他将目光投向马匹左开膛手，该马定于Rosehill开幕日出战1100米障碍赛 [1]。
左开膛手将由骑手詹姆斯·麦克唐纳驾驭 [1]。这匹马距离上场比赛仅7天 [1]，曾在最近的1100米赛事中以1.5个马位负于霍克厅，排名第三 [1]。赔率方面，左开膛手被设为$5赔率，而贾里托则为$2.40的热门 [1]。普赖德对该马能在短周期内再次胜出充满信心 [1]。
为适应稳定的增长，普赖德已将马厩容量从60匹扩至80匹 [1]，并为下一赛季设定了20场分级赛胜利的目标 [1]。
Australian trainer Joe Pride is targeting ambitious goals for the upcoming season following a productive 2025-26 campaign.[1] Pride achieved 40 metropolitan race victories, 4 Group 1 wins, and 16 Group race victories this past season,[1] and has expanded his stable capacity from 60 to 80 horses in preparation for increased targets.[1] The trainer is now aiming for 20 Group race victories in the coming season,[1] representing a significant step up from his 16-win performance in the just-completed year.
Zouripper will serve as an early test of Pride's ambitions, contesting a 1,100-metre hurdle race at Rosehill's opening day just seven days after his previous start.[1] The horse finished third, beaten by 1.5 lengths by Hawker Hall, in his most recent outing over the same distance.[1] James McDonald will take over as the horse's jockey for the Rosehill engagement,[1] with Zouripper set at $5 odds while Jarrito is the race favourite at $2.40.[1] Pride remains confident that his charge can secure another victory within this compressed timeframe.[1]
