Just saw Yesterday results. BOUDICA winning the Hawera Cup. Harrison Orange putting the foot down early this time and zooming to the lead 1100m out and holding them out. Hope you followed your pick there into the 2nd day to make up for that unlucky run. We could of followed our juniors from the First day and got some more winners with Crystal(2) and Harrison Orange (2) and Zev and Wilson all winning some more races , joined by the young Balle lass and... Alicia Harrison back from injury and winning too (great to see Alicia back in the sulky and congrats on the win . Only odd one out was OLD MAN David Butcher winning a race from the juniors Leah H and Emily J . Shame on you 'David Old man Butcher' for winning that race, and stopping the Clean Sweep of the Card by the Juniors 😂😋 . What were you thinking ? -

But was the Grp 3 at Sandown which was all maidens and won by a first starter OK? Other than the size of the field how is it any different to the one held at Ellerslie on Saturday? -

By Mike Love A “peach” of a drive by Harrison Orange helped Blenheim trainer Tony Thomas and his mare Boudica take out the DTS Hawera Cup at Hawera yesterday. “It was good. She tries so hard every time she races,” said Thomas. Boudica settled back of midfield early from their 10 metre handicap. Orange then elected to move around the field with eyes on the lead at the 1200m. From there the pair staved off all challengers, holding on to win by one length. “We were pretty stiff on the first day. It was a 10 out of 10 drive by Harrison Orange. He took luck out of play.” “She’s a stand start specialist. She’s not really a grass track horse, but the junior driver penalty free was the carrot that got us up here.” Thomas reflects on Orange’s drive as a “peach” while reminiscing on the fact Harrison’s father Blair drove Thomas’ first winner back in 1998 with Rich Jem at Hokitika. It was part of a winning treble by Orange – he also won with Tina Ace and Golden Line. Boudica has been clocking up the kilometres with racing recently up and down the country. The seven-year-old Sportswriter mare has now won 10 from 90 starts, with over $166,000 in stakes. “We will go to the Addington mares race this Friday. Then we may go up to Palmerston and back up to Auckland for the Northern Country Cups and the Northern Breeders stakes.” Thomas has now trained 35 winners with over $340,000 in stakes. Other highlights on the card included a double and 500th winner for trainer Derek Balle (Rewiri Hill and Conrad H) and Michael House (Golden Line and State Trooper) trained a double while Crystal Hackett had a driving double with Kourtney Kardash and High Energy.

By Adam Hamilton Auckland Cup winner Republican Party is heading home after his fantastic third in the Hunter Cup. But compatriots Tact McLeod and Don’t Stop Dreaming will stay in Victoria to clash with Leap To Fame again in next Saturday night’s $100,000 Group 2 Cranbourne Cup. Trainer Cran Dalgety also planned to tackle Cranbourne, but admitted Republican Party “certainly felt” his brave and close-up third to Swayzee and Leap To Fame in record smashing time. “It’s really the first time in his career he’s pulled-up a bit shagged, as though he really knew he had a run,” he said. “He’s come a long way in the past six months or so and we’ll focus on getting him primed for the Race by Betcha now.” Republican Party charged home from three pegs to a head and half-neck behind the two best pacers in this part of the world. “Carter felt he could’ve gotten even closer, but hey I say a close third in a Hunter Cup behind those two is a win in itself and should be celebrated,” Dalgety said. “He’s always been five or 10 per cent below the big guns, but showed he’d improved and was up with the best Kiwis and now he’s run that well, albeit after being on the marker pegs, behind the best in Australasia.” Longer term, Dalgety said a return to Australia for the enhanced Brisbane Inter Dominion in July was a strong possibility. “It’s an attractive option now it’s in July, down to just two rounds of heats and the prize money has gone up,” he said. “It’s something we’ll look a lot more seriously at after the Cambridge race.” Caretaker trainer and driver Anthony Butt was thrilled with Tact McLeod’s close fourth, beaten about a metre, in the Hunter Cup. “He went super. They’re bloody great horses to try and get past,” he said. “He seems to have pulled-up great so we’ll more than likely go to Cranbourne.” Don’t Stop Dreaming only ran seventh, but he smashed the clock for his last 1000m after making ground a mile back and out very wide for the last 400m to be beaten just 7.1 metres. “It was a fantastic run, both he and Oscar (Bonavena) will be good to go to Cranbourne,” he said. Oscar Bonavena followed a solid third in his Great Southern Star heat with a disappointing sixth in the final after a good trail. Driver and co-trainer Mark Purdon said the star veteran was a bit fresh in the heat and felt like he ran out of condition in the closing stages of the final. “Those runs will bring him on for what’s ahead,” he said. The $100,000 Group 1 Hammerhead Mile on Miracle Mile (March 8) night is a major target. View the full article
