Legarto had her first start on this date 1 year ago. Taiki rode her. Toby Autridge had died the same day.

Legarto's   Matamata race debut.  Heavy 10. Poor form from the beaten lot since ,  out of her maiden race.

She became a group One winner. Is that why us small breeders and enthusiasts, like Phil and Catherine drink red wine and hope ?

( Even tho they did not breed Legarto )

Remember the day well, didn't realise Toby had passed ,was my fav rider growing up. RIP . Taiki rode a good race here,such a crying shame. The Standout for me was Boomer later that day, looked so relaxed in the parade ring you just had to be involved...hasnt been the same since
