Wexford colt ready for Group Three test

NZRacingDesk

Explosive finishes are becoming a habit for Geriatrix (Almanzor), and co-trainer Andrew Scott is hopeful the eye-catching colt can produce another in Thursday’s Gr.3 Elsdon Park Wellington Stakes (1600m) at Otaki. The son of Almanzor was an impressive maiden victor at Taupo in October and recorded the fastest 600m sectional of the entire Pukekohe meeting last-start when scorching into second behind Otaki race-rival Antrim Coast. “We went to Pukekohe and he still raced with inexperience, but his final 600m was very pleasing in the way he quickened home and hit…

NZRacingDesk

Sindacato (NZ) (Per Incanto) has some unfinished business in the Stella Artois 1500 Championship Final (1500m) and he will be looking to rectify that at Pukekohe next month. The now eight-year-old gelding ran third in the race two years ago for trainer Roydon Bergerson before heading to Sydney for a 12-month stint. He has returned to the care of the Awapuni conditioner and will attempt to seal his spot in the race when he heads to Wanganui on Saturday to contest the Wanganui Motors And The Dyke Family 1600. The…

His form against lesser opposition suggests he’s more than capable of making his mark in stronger company and can prove that point in the Gr.3 Elsdon Park Wellington Stakes (1600m). A well-related son of Divine Prophet, Up The Anti will spearhead a strong team for trainers Johno Benner and Hollie Wynyard at their local…

NZHarnessNews

By Michael Guerin Two-time New Zealand Cup hero Copy That is off to Australia again, but not to race this time.
