Lightly raced Towkay 3YO Arzak (Towkay-Roseario by Pentire) displayed real grit and determination when posting his first career win in trying track conditions at Hawera on Monday.
Arzak and the pace making Second’s Out s slipped right away from the rest of the field rounding the home turn with Second’s Out drawing two lengths clear at the 200m as Arzak began to flounder in the conditions. However not to be denied the Robyn Horton bred and owned gelding dug deep, grabbing the leader just short of the line before cheekily pricking his ears for the finishing print. Due to MND Robyn just missed being able to celebrate this win and we would like to send our sympathies to Mike Brown, Robyn’s husband, and her family as they continue without this strong, passionate and incredibly successful woman in their lives.
The locally trained Beau Zed (Zed-Flit by Lord Ballina) rounded out a good day for LA when he comfortably took out the final event. Sunday in Australia saw Chimed Inn (Nadeem-Pantenny by Canny Lad) win over 1400m in Tasmania
