Paynter scores trotting trifecta

NZHarnessNews

By Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk Local trainer Ross Paynter’s colours were to the fore in the Check Out The CR Hire Equipment Trot (2200m) at Cambridge Raceway on Thursday, making up the first three. Tourminator, Ngauruhoe and Itaintnecessarilyso were making their debuts and made the perfect start in securing the trifecta. Tourminator began well for driver Andre Poutama to take an early lead before he handed up to Ngauruhoe down the back straight. The son of Andover Hall was left untroubled up front and Toruminator was able to take…

Butcher in for big night tonight

NZHarnessNews

By Michael Guerin Zachary Butcher faces a series of vastly different challenges at Alexandra Park tonight but he is certain horsepower won’t be a problem. The outstanding northern reinsman partners two favourites in Old Town Road and Merlin, a classy juvenile in Art D’or and a forgotten Derby runner in Major Perry and all have obstacles to overcome. Butcher is confident at least two of them will. Old Town Road is one of the most promising pacers in New Zealand but will start from the tricky barrier 1 off a…

True Fantasy poised to bounce back

NZHarnessNews

By Michael Guerin The torrential rain that has caused havoc across the north over the last week may have saved True Fantasy’s $150,000 Pascoes Northern Oaks campaign. Not because trainer-driver Mark Purdon is expecting or hoping for a wet track at tonight’s star-studded Alexandra Park meeting but because the autumn rain may have cured an ill affecting the Oaks favourite. True Fantasy has been red hot for most of the Oaks build-up until she finished unplaced for the first time in her career last start against many of tonight’s rivals.…

Muscle Mountain primed for mile

NZHarnessNews

By Jonny Turner Trotting fans can expect to see the real Muscle Mountain at Addington on Friday night. The star squaregaiter will be out to resume normal transmission after a miss-step saw him take no part in Sundee’s Son’s million-dollar celebrations last week. Greg Hope, who trains in partnership with wife Nina, took a calculated gamble with the five-year-old last week as he manages Muscle Mountain’s Group One autumn campaign. But this week the trainer will go back to the tried and true.” “He will be fine – he is…

Top sprinter ruled out of the autumn

NZRacingDesk

Lost And Running (NZ) (Per Incanto) won’t be seen again this autumn, ruling him out of a rematch with Nature Strip (Nicconi) and Eduardo (Host) in the Gr.1 T J Smith Stakes. Trainer John O’Shea said the gelding pulled up with feet issues following his unplaced run in the Newmarket Handicap and the wet tracks in Sydney were making it difficult to get him back on track. “I have decided to pull the pin on him. His feet jarred up in the Newmarket and it has been a bit of…

Irish Girl primed for Riccarton feature

NZRacingDesk

Northland trainer Kenny Rae says the blame would rest squarely with his daughter and co-trainer Krystal Williams-Tuhoro if their mare Irish Girl (NZ) (El Roca) was to be beaten in Saturday’s Gr.3 Valachi Downs South Island Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Riccarton. Rae had hoped to boost his stellar record accompanying the El Roca mare in the south but when the only suitable passage across Cook Strait opened up for Irish Girl early this week, he reluctantly sent Williams-Tuhoro south with her. “I said to Krystal, ‘gee the pressure is…
