Well, almost. I see a filly named Tauparae winning at Matamata trials today for TA. Stirs memories of the good sprinter/miler Tauporae. He won eight races in the 70s plus third twice in the Railway, 1970 behind Sharivari and 71 behind Ajasco. Good luck to her owners. I hope she's half as good.

Notice Semprini winning recently at Te Aroha. Same location the old Semprini trained by D. Arnott.  Was Tauparae by Pakistan?

slam dunk the earlier Semprini was a handy sprinter-miler who won 7 races for Dave Arnott each time ridden by his apprentice Steve Ganley. Couple of coincidences: Semprini won his maiden race at the corresponding Thames meeting on the 5/1/63. Both Semprinis won their Maiden race at their third starts.

My Mum worked in a family milk bar in Panmure and a regular customer was a friend of the owners so used to get the " bully". I was not long out of school and Serena supplemented my meager pay quite nicely.

Blue Serena raced 36 times for 11wins. Theo Howe trained her to win her first 9 races and JN Sellwood for her last two which were the 1968 Telegraph Handicap and the 1968 Jackson Stakes at Wanganui.

Serena won the Telegraph in 1967 also Gubes. She carried 7 stone 2lb and a quarter and was ridden by David Peake in 1967.

I saw her win the race in 1968 when ridden by Bill Skelton when she carried 9 stone 3lb that year (my first time at Trentham). Bill rode the double that day winning the Cup on Loofah.
