    • By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk  At what is now essentially his local track, in-form trotter Racey Krusa heads back to Oamaru this Sunday. The nine-year-old has turned into quite the “surprise package” since joining Amber Hoffman’s Waikouaiti Beach stable late last year, winning four of his five starts with her, and finishing third in the other. And it’s not just that he’s stringing the wins together – it’s the way he’s doing it. In his last start, at Oamaru on Wednesday January 21, Racey Krusa was nicely situated one out and one back before being left parked for the final lap. Driver Wilson House made his move at the home turn and the pair left the field in his wake, winning by more than two lengths. “To his credit he just relaxed so beautifully,” says Hoffman. After being transferred from Amber Lethaby’s stables in Canterbury, where he had his first three wins, Racey Krusa debuted for his new stable at Invercargill with a win in November. “His owners (Bruce Graham) thought a change of scene would do him some good and he’s enjoying the beach life,” says Hoffman, “we do all his fast work on the beach and he loves being on the lead as well.” “That first run we didn’t expect him to win, it was more a case of getting a line on him.” Before that win though Racey Krusa took a while to get used to his new surroundings. “He’s a cool wee dude but in the first two weeks he didn’t eat much and I was almost tempted to send him home but all of a sudden he came right,” says Hoffman, “and he’s mated up with a wee galloper and since then he’s been a really happy horse.” “He’s been a wee surprise package – that’s for sure.” Overall Racey Krusa has now won seven from 80 starts and looks to have a great opportunity to surprise again at his “home” meeting. He’ll line up in Race 12, the O’Connell Family/ Murphy Family Waikouaiti Handicap Trot (5.15pm). Among his rivals will be Dark Ghana, who went back-to-back at Blenheim on January 16 and 18, and last start Riverton winner Kracka Looka.   To see Sunday’s field click here  Racing at Oamaru on Sunday starts at 11.55am.   View the full article
