🟢⚪️ Slick Return By McVeigh 🟢⚪️

Trinder Racing took two horses to Tasmanian Turf Club Inc. on Friday night and came home with a winner, with McVeigh resuming from a six-month break to take out the Class 1 Handicap over 1120m.

McVeigh (4g Stratosphere x Louise) was having his first start since breaking his maiden at the track in April, and he came into the race off two trials. From barrier 2 and carrying 58kg, the gelding we call Louis jumped straight to the front, and Erica Byrne Burke was able to control the race from there. He was only just in front approaching the turn, but when Erica asked him to go he kicked over 2 lengths clear by the time they straightened. The favourite, Miss Lyra, finished off strongly, but Louis had done enough to hold on and win by a length.

McVeigh’s time of 1:07.74 was about 2 lengths slower than the other 1120m race on the program, but the two races were run very differently. The leader in that race reached the 600m almost 4 lengths quicker than Louis, as Erica kept the early sections cheaper than in the other sprints on the card. That left Louis with plenty to sprint home, and his finishing sectionals reflect that. His 11.52 seconds from the 400m to the 200m was the fastest split run by any horse on the program, and it was where he broke the race open. His last 400m of 23.58 seconds was also the fastest by any winner on the night, and no horse leading at the 600m, 400m or 200m ran a faster closing sectional.

We congratulate owner Chelsea Goodrick and breeder Leah Goodrick on Louis’s second win. The $18,125 first prize takes his record to 2 wins and a placing from 5 starts and $62,375 in prizemoney. Our thanks go to Erica for a well-judged ride in front, and as always, to Iron Horse Equine Nutrition for their continued support of our stable.

✨ Open Company No Obstacle For Prince ✨

Trinder Racing took three runners to Tasmanian Turf Club Inc. on Friday night and came home with another winning double, with Erica Byrne Burke riding both winners.

Our first winner was Ozonica (4g Stratosphere x Morgatoche), who carried topweight to victory in the Andy Birrell Loves Tassie Racing Class 3 Handicap over 1200m.

Sent out the $2.15 favourite from barrier 3, the gelding we call Brad settled second behind the leader in a race run at a genuine clip. Erica had him travelling sweetly on the speed and then ran to the lead on straightening to open up a commanding lead. From there his rivals couldn’t bridge the gap as he romped home by 1¾ lengths. This was his first win on turf, with his first three wins all coming on the Devonport synthetic.

Ozonica’s time of 1:11.27 was the fastest of the three 1200m races on the program, more than 5 lengths quicker than the next best. The leader in his race set the fastest early tempo of the night and Brad was right on his hammer throughout. The tempo stayed strong throughout - his 11.20 seconds from the 1000m to the 800m was the third fastest of the night, and his last 800m of 46.36 seconds was the 10th quickest on the program. His ability to run along in good time while still travelling sweetly was arguably the most impressive part of his win and a sign of his maturity this preparation.

We congratulate the ownership group, which includes the breeder Grenville Stud, on Brad’s fourth win. The $19,375 first prize pushes his career earnings past $100,000, and he now has 4 wins and 3 placings from 9 starts and $104,725 in prizemoney. Our thanks go to Erica, who has now ridden all four of his wins.

Prince Of Khatun (4g Stratosphere x Khatun) completed the double in the Crawf Loves Launnie! Open Handicap over 1100m, making it two wins from two starts this preparation.

Sent out at $3 from barrier 7, Matey crossed the field quite easily before handing up as they turned down the side. With a soft early tempo he was well placed when the speed went on and surged to the lead inside the 200m mark. The favourite Glory Mission challenged strongly but he held him at bay to record an impressive half length victory.

Prince Of Khatun’s time of 1:05.74 was about 4 lengths quicker than the other 1100m race on the program, even though his race was run very differently. The leader reached the 800m 7 lengths slower than the other 1100m race which set up a sprint home, and the race produced the fastest last 800m, 600m, 400m and 200m of any race on the night. Prince Of Khatun ranked in the top 5 on the program for all of those sections, with his 11.28 second last 200m bettered only by Glory Mission on the program. With the 1100m trip looking entirely suitable for him on this effort, we can now look forward to the Goodwood Handicap in Hobart for his next assignment.

We congratulate owner/breeder Wayne Roser on Matey’s second win in a row this prep. The $21,875 first prize takes him to 6 wins and 6 placings from 14 starts and $179,225 in prizemoney. Thanks again to Erica for a well-timed ride and we congratulate her on riding 4 winners for the night. As always, our thanks go to Iron Horse Equine Nutrition for their continued support of our stable.

⚪️🔴 Winning Debut for Aki as Stable Snares a Double ⚪️🔴

Trinder Racing took three runners to Tasmanian Turf Club Inc. on Friday night and came home with a winning double, thanks to a pair of new-season 4yos.

Our first winner was Vortistar (4g Written Tycoon x Pikari Star), who was too good from the front in the Ladbrokes Flex Your Multi Stays Alive Class 1 over 1200m.

Drawn wide, with Erica Byrne Burke aboard, the gelding we call Spencer began smartly to sit outside the leader before finding the front as the field went down the side. At a solid gallop he had his rivals off the bit by the corner, and with a strong kick he straightened with a clear lead. While he tired a bit late, he was never in any real danger and went on to score a comfortable half-length victory.

Spencer's time of 1:12.14 was the quicker of the two 1200m races on the program, and he did it all by himself in front. He set the fastest early tempo of any race on the day, reaching the 800m mark 3½ lengths quicker than the leader in the other 1200m race. He then sealed it with a sharp 11.26-second sectional from the 400m to the 200m mark. That was equal-fastest in the race and equal 11th on the program, despite him having set the pace.

We congratulate the ownership group on Vortistar's second win. It takes him to 2 wins and 3 placings from 7 starts and $47,300 in prizemoney, a solid return on his $13,000 online purchase price. We thank Erica for another well-judged ride in front, overcoming the wide draw while still having enough in hand at the finish.

Prince Of Khatun (4g Stratosphere x Khatun) completed the stable double in the Field Family Benchmark 68 over 1200m. It was an exciting first ride in Tasmania for our new stable apprentice Aki Phanthura, who has done a lot of work in the lead-up to his first race for us and was duly rewarded with a winner.

From a nice draw, the gelding we call Matey found a good spot on speed in a race with a steadier tempo than the other sprint races on the card. He travelled sweetly outside the leader before applying the pressure around the bend and taking the lead on straightening. The leader kicked back as they settled down to fight it out, but under urging from Aki, Matey proved too good and recorded a strong first-up win.

Prince Of Khatun's time of 1:12.39 came in a race run quite differently to Vortistar's. The early tempo was steadier, and with those cheaper early sectionals the speed went on a bit further out. Matey ran 22.36 seconds from the 600m to the 200m, the second-fastest on the night and the fastest by any winner. That speed made it near impossible for those behind to get into a position to challenge, and he was still too strong over the concluding stages for the horse on his inside.

We congratulate owner/breeder Wayne Roser on Matey's fifth win. Matey, the first horse Wayne ever bred, now has 5 wins and 6 placings from 13 starts and $157,350 in prizemoney. Well done to Aki on winning his first ride in Tasmania, and we look forward to watching him develop over the coming months. As always, our thanks go to Iron Horse Equine Nutrition for their continued support of our stable.
