Talented Tannahill a quality addition to Phelan stable

NZRacingDesk

Tannahill (NZ) (Star Witness) was a special horse to former trainer Andrew Campbell and he hasn’t taken long to endear himself to his new handlers. The gifted four-year-old was Campbell’s final runner last month when he provided a moving farewell with victory on the synthetic track at Cambridge and then joined Craig and Shaun Phelan’s stable. Raced by a group of owners headed by real estate magnate Tommy Heptinstall, Tannahill finished runner-up in his first appearance for the father and son duo and then led all the way to go…

You would be forgiven for thinking Tavi Mac (NZ) (Tavistock) had found himself in a Highweight at Awapuni on Saturday.

However, he will still carry 5.5kg more than his nearest rival on Saturday, with Tavis Court and Group One winner Shadows Cast also utilising the services of three-kilogram claiming apprentices Faye Lazet and Ashvin Mudhoo…
