A rails-hugging ride by Kavish Chowdhoory paved the way for the visiting Michael and Matthew Pitman stable to quinella the opening event on the second day of the annual Riverton Easter Carnival. The Pitman team picked up two wins on the opening day on Saturday with Tomyturbo (NZ) (Sacred Falls) and Charbano (NZ) (Vespa), and enjoyed immediate success again as Makabar (NZ) (Swiss Ace) improved markedly on his first day fourth by bolting away with the Speights/Ewan Allan Honda Thornbury Handicap (1400m).

Footes to the fore at Otaki
The visiting Cambridge stable of Ben and son Ryan Foote were to the fore in the opening events at Otaki on Monday where they took out the first two races on the programme. Three-year-old maiden filly Alation (NZ) (Swiss Ace) proved too tough for her rivals in race one, dashing away in the home straight for rider Courtney Barnes despite having done plenty of work outside pacemaker Am I Blue (NZ) (Niagara) in the 1600m contest. Just thirty minutes later her stablemate Enthusiastic (NZ) (War Decree) claimed his maiden victory…

A change of tactics from rider Lee Callaway saw the Jim Curran-trained galloper sent straight to the front…
