Balle eyes bright future with maiden winner
By Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk There looks to be plenty in store for promising trotter Eye Love You after her dominant maiden success at Cambridge Raceway on Saturday. The daughter of Love You had all her previous outings at Alexandra Park and trainer Derek Balle was unsure how she would handle the left-handed way of going for the first time in the Off The Track Food & Bev Trot (2200m). However, she quickly dispelled those fears, trotting comfortably at the rear of the field before being sent forward down…
Bad Hombre headlines Hill’s team for Motukarara
By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk After two wins in Central Otago to start 2023, North Canterbury trainer Brendon “Benny” Hill is eyeing up further success at the Banks Peninsula Trotting Club meeting on Sunday. “If I could get a win and a couple of placings I’d be happy,” he says of the four runners he’ll race on the grass at Motukarara. His best chance is Bad Hombre who’s had three thirds since resuming in December. The Art Major five-year-old will line up in race 3, the Chris Jones…
Logan Street Lion shows plenty of heart
Logan Street Lion (NZ) (Tavistock) fended off the late-charge of Mahagoni (Muhaarar) to score a strong win in the Cleanaway Handicap (1800m) at Rosehill on Saturday for trainer Chris Waller to land the second win of his current campaign. In five starts this preparation, the gelding has been out of the top three just once and the lightly raced son of Tavistock looks to have further upside for his connections. Raced by Go Racing, Logan Street Lion enjoyed a good run in fourth under Tommy Berry and travelled sweetly when…
Former Kiwis on song at Sandown
Former Kiwi gallopers Netanyahu (NZ) (Alamosa), Riverplate (NZ) (Flying Artie) and So Unusual (NZ) (Unusual Suspect) took out successive races at Sandown (Ladbrokes Park Hillside) on Saturday. Alamosa five-year-old Netanyahu was first to salute in the Become An MRC Member Handicap (1300m) for trainers Leon and Troy Corstens. Sent out a $10 chance, Netanyahu sat handy to the speed under John Allen and got the better of favourite Merry Mac Boy (I Am Invincible) who set the tempo. It was a strong performance from the gelding who commenced his career…
Soldier Boy justifies Cup confidence
Gavin Sharrock was confident of a winning run from Soldier Boy (NZ) (Proisir) at Trentham and his judgment proved on the money with the four-year-old producing a strong staying performance to claim Saturday’s Listed Marton Cup (2200m). The Stratford trainer had been forgiving of the son of Proisir’s previous unplaced effort in the Gr.1 Zabeel Classic (2050m) and was bullish about a form reversal in the JAPAC Homes-sponsored feature. Soldier Boy coasted along behind the leading division and when rider Kate Hercock asked him for a serious effort in the…
The Buffer puts margin on Nuggets rivals
Rejuvenated galloper The Buffer (NZ) (Reliable Man) extended his run of winning form when he galloped his rivals into submission at Kumara to carry an emotional Kelsey Hannan to a milestone victory in her fledgling career. The Kenny Rae and Krystal Williams-trained six-year-old made all the running in the time-honoured Vernon & Vazey Truck Parts Kumara Gold Nuggets (1810m) for his seventh career victory and fifth from his last seven appearances. The son of Reliable Man was successful twice on his home track at Ruakaka earlier this preparation before heading…
Rocababy makes strong winning return
Hawera trainer Anna Clement will be scouring the summer three-year-old programs with renewed interest following the resuming victory of her talented filly Rocababy (NZ) (El Roca) at Trentham. Clement has no immediate plans for the daughter of El Roca and will wait and see how her charge comes through Saturday’s winning run in the Te Akau 3YO (1200m) before confirming a path forward. “That was very nice and not unexpected, we have always thought she was going to be pretty handy little horse,” Clement said. “I’ll have a good look…
Avdulla lifts Deficit to victory in The Wave
In typically humble fashion, Brenton Avdulla put his supreme riding skills down to “a bit of luck” on his way to winning The Wave aboard Deficit on the Gold Coast. The four-year-old took advantage of a slight opening to muscle his way past runner-up Ashgrove late on the straight and win by a neck. “He presented at the right time. He just needed an ounce of luck to get out,” Avdulla told Sky Racing. “He got his way out and he made the most of it.” Deficit’s patience also played…
