Electron recorded her second Group Three placing in three starts when third in last Saturday’s Group 3 Easter Handicap (1600m) at Ellerslie, and will look to end her season on a high at Te Rapa this weekend.
Owner-trainer Sam Mynott bought her for just $1,000 off gavelhouse.com two years ago, and Electron has more than repaid that outlay, with Saturday’s result bringing her record to four wins and four placings from 14 starts, with earnings nearing $110,000.
“She is certainly worth more than I paid for her,” Mynott quipped.
The Cambridge horsewoman was duly pleased with Saturday’s result and said the daughter of Turn Me Loose has come through the race well.
“She has been eating up and she is just out in the paddock at the moment. She seems bright and happy,” Mynott said.
“She just keeps putting her hand up and stepping up. It is quite amazing what she has achieved this season. I am super grateful to have her. She is just an honest mare with a big heart.
“She is only four and hopefully next season she can come back bigger and stronger and even pick-up a black-type win.”
That black-type win could come as soon as this Saturday, with Electron entered for the Group 2 Travis Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa.
“As long as she keeps eating and seems happy, we will head there and then she will go out for a spell,” Mynott said. “If there is any doubt, she will go straight to the spelling paddock.”
