Berlutti makes it 6 individual winners for BlueBlood Thoroughbreds in the past month

The task for trainer Mick Price is about to get tougher after the first-up win of Berlutti at Sandown.

The Caulfield-trained sprinter returned with a strong win in the Le Pine Funerals Handicap on Wednesday, but now Price has to find suitable races.

Price said a liking for wet ground, Sandown and a good first-up record had contributed to Berlutti’s success.

Ridden by apprentice Michael Dee, Berlutti ($5.50) scored by three-quarters-of-a-length from It’s A Shame Billy ($7) with Atunnah Courage ($61) the same margin away third.

“We timed our run so he can have a bit of a winter prep,” Price said.

“With his rating he’s going to be a little tricky to place now but it’s a nice problem to have as they get up in grade.

“He gets 1200 metres and he’s a bit more mature now than he was six months ago, so there should be a few options.”

Price said Dee rode Berlutti perfectly putting him in the right spot in the short-course sprint over 1000m.

He said he kept the gelding on the bridle and had him placed to allow Berlutti to show his sprint.

Berlutti’s victory brought up a winning double for Dee after steering Deal With It home in the Grand Hotel Frankston Plate.

Dee said Berlutti travelled beautifully into the straight and gave him a good kick.

“The last 50 metres he died a little bit so there’ll be improvement to come from him after that,” Dee said.

Berlutti makes it 6 individual winners for Blueblood Thoroughbreds in the past month.

Congratulations to Mick Price and Blueblood Thoroughbreds Berlutti Syndicate and its connections.
