Iffididit successful at Riverton
Enigmatic galloper Iffididit put his best foot forward when he scored fresh-up after a two-month break by taking out the feature flat event at Riverton on Easter Monday, the Max Winders Shearing/South Pacific Meats Thornbury Handicap (1400m). The Anna Furlong-prepared five-year-old thrives on rain affected surfaces and the Heavy10 surface at Riverton proved ideal for his resumption as he settled back in the field before being sent forward by apprentice jockey Yogesh Atchamah with 700m to run. Iffididit stalked former northerner Chevron around the home bend and gained the upper…
Red-letter day for Hina at Waverley
New Plymouth trainer Tawhiti Hina took a quarter of his current eight-horse team to Waverley on Easter Monday and walked away with a pair of impressive winners. Hina, who is only in his third year of training, was hoping the persistent rain on the day, which resulted in the track moving from a Soft6 to a Heavy9 after just three races, would play in favour of the maiden gallopers, and that was how it played out as both Summer Breeze and Side Piece relished the underfoot conditions in their respective…

In Mr Brightside’s three runs this campaign – twice at 1400m and his most recent when second in Gr.1 The…
Hutchings close to riding return
Ex-pat Kiwi jockey Rory Hutchings is keen to get his riding career back on track after being off the scene since February courtesy of the broken collarbone he suffered in a nasty fall when his mount clipped heels at Taupo in late February. Hutchings, who was in a purple patch of form during his extended summer riding stint back home, was left to rue the fact he missed out on several high-profile rides on Champions Day at Ellerslie last month, although he is philosophical about the incident. “It is one…
Belzoni breaks through at Waverley
Juvenile gelding Belzoni has shown plenty of promise at home for trainer Lisa Latta and he was able to transfer that to raceday when scoring his maiden success in the Wilson Livestock (1100m) at Waverley on Easter Monday. The son of Belardo was pulled up shortly after the start when on debut at Trentham last October and was spelled over summer. He pleased Latta with his two runner-up trials heading into his resuming run, and Latta was full of confidence when the forecast rain arrived on Monday. Belzoni jumped away…
