Ponderosa8 217 Report post Posted September 9 Starting in Race 2 at Tauranga Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Wood 909 Report post Posted September 9 Morning Race Cafe Team, our boy heads to Tauranga tomorrow to line up in race 2. Happy with him, he came through last weeks trial well, not really sure about the Heavy 11 track, but we have to start somewhere and he does seem to get through the going judging by his recent trials efforts. Andrew Calder takes the mount and he was a pleased with the trial win. Good luck to Anne and Steve, fellow shareholders, let the fun begin! 6 Swoopa, jack, Memphis2 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you suggesting he may have covered a bit of extra ground Scooby? Tauranga is such a strange track at the best of times, either they handle it or they don't. It was quite a reasonable run and probably good practice for the horse. I'm sure the connections will be happy enough pressing on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Wood 909 Report post Posted September 11 Happy enough team, 1.19 and change showed how testing the track was, 98mm of rain in the week leading up to the day. Andrew commented that he was going to push forward but was going to have to work to get there, so decided to take a sit. Tempo was moderate, so who knows, he was out there, I wasn’t! Horse rallied well in the straight, the experience won’t do him any harm and connections were happy. Will let you know shortly where we head next! 3 1 scooby3051, Baz (NZ), Black Kirrama and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Wood 909 Report post Posted September 25 Andrew said he was never happy in the ground from barrier rise, and he thought the horse was going to get blown over on straightening. The run best forgotten! 3 1 scooby3051, Swoopa, TurnyTom and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
