🏁 RANGIORA TRIALS 🏁

Today was an exciting day for the stable. Our Group 1 winning star in Rakero Rocket had his first public appearance this preparation with our sights firmly set on the 2nd Tuesday in November.

Light Me Up and Ebury Street accompanied George to the trials today and also were in the same heat as him. All three trialed great with Light Me Up and Rakero Rocket back next week for another trial and Ebury Street will head to the races.

💬 Latte leads the charge for the team today. She has improved in leaps and bounds this prep, and is learning what this racing game is all about. We expect to see her finding the line nicely today.

🧍‍♂️Robbie Close
💬 Followed them around a fortnight ago, would of gained a lot of experience from that friday night. Shes still got alot to learn. Back to sunday class, positive draw and work has showed signs of improvement. Top 4 chance with a cosy trip.

🏁BETAVET ALLER-GEN PACE🏁
🐴 Riley John
🧍‍♂️ Gavin Smith
💬 Handled the standing start two weeks ago, will go again with a stand today, kept coming to the line last start, again another with a bit to learn but has showed signs of improvement. Will look to settle a fraction handier and get him to find the line again.

Good Luck to all connections!

🐴 Ebury Street
🧍‍♂️ Sam Thornley
💬 Struggling of late with Addington class and only being able to run on Friday nights. Doesn’t get any easier this week, drawn the car park so will look to get a cosy trip and get her to be running on at the finish.

🏁AVON CITY FORD WINTER REWARDS MOBILE PACE🏁
🐴 Gem n Em
🧍‍♂️ Sam Thornley
💬 Been going good races all winter which has gained her a start in these finals. Blinds on and a 2nd row draw which will allow her to settle handy enough without doing any work. 2600m suits so if the bowl along up front she will be running on late.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS 🐴

Two runners engaged tonight and will both be looking to find the line strongly and improve with the run.

🐴 Sweet Espresso
🧍‍♂️ Craig Ferguson
💬 Ordinary trial last week but has sharpened up considerably with the addition of blinds. Doesn’t know a lot about racing so will look to be educated, take shortcuts and hopefully hit the line nicely!

🧍🏽‍♀️ Sam Ottley
💬 Taking some adjusting to the higher grade as of late along with shes a good doing mare so takes a few runs to get rock hard fit, she’s off the front and will look to stay handy. First 4 with a bit of luck.

Two runners in tonight looking to improve off of last week’s runs!

🧍‍♂️Sam Thornley
💬 To fresh last week, pulled sitting parked not her go. Back to a stand this week if a 15m handicap, usually a very quick beginner so should eat up the mark quickly, look to see her running on late.

🧍‍♂️Tim Williams
💬 Trotted the trip last week which was pleasing, hopefully he’s gained some confidence from that and he can get up on the front end and bowl along this week. Distance suits, nice front row draw he’s a Top 4 chance if he can do everything right.

Good luck to connections!

After a week of rain the sun looks like it might poke through for race day this afternoon where we take two horses to HQ.

🧍🏽‍♀️Devon Dolan
💬 Couple of trials to prepare for tonight’s assignment, up in grade after winning 4 in a row at the back end of last campaign. She seems well and a small field helps her top 4 chances. One thing snip will do is give 100%, there will be improvement after tonight’s race.

🧍‍♂️Jonny Cox
💬 Won a trial a few weeks back nicely but then galloped up the straight in his trial last week. Motor is there, just needs to stay in his correct gait. Happy with his work since although will need some J Cox magic from the draw but if he can get out and handy early he can get a bit of the money.

Good luck to all connections!

🐴 Rakero Maximus
🧍‍♂️ John Dunn
💬 Tough run last week although i still thought he was slightly disappointing. Blood was good and his work has been great through the week. Terrible draw but will look to drive him with one run and hope they run along up front for us.

🏁 STEWARD & HOLLAND LTD PACE 🏁
🐴 Gem n Em
🧍🏽‍♀️ Devon Dolan
💬 Tied up last week so forget she went around, change of work and feed will have her giving a better performance today. Back to a stand and it’s a nice race for her so Devon hops on to try a sneak a half points win.

🧍🏽‍♀️Sam Ottley
💬Walk and sprint last week didn’t really suit Kenny, he’s been drawn the car park but as long as the race is run at a genuine speed he will round his race off nicely, we know the motor is there, just need a bit of luck our way and he can be contesting the finish.

💬Great effort up in grade last week, slight drop back in class and Gem comes up with a better barrier, will look to cross down to the fence and get her to find the line again, with the right trip shes a genuine Top 4 chance.

Good luck to all connections!
