By Michael Guerin Star pacer Don’t Stop Dreaming has changed stables just two weeks out from the $1million Race by Betcha at Cambridge on Friday, April 4. The last-start Menangle winner has left trainers Mark and Nathan Purdon and joined Hayden and Amanda Cullen and will debut for them in Friday’s $60,000 Auckland Co-Op Taxis City of Auckland Free-For-All at Alexandra Park. Don’t Stop Dreaming faces a second line draw for the Cullens starting alongside stablemate We Walk By Faith in the 2200m mobile which is stacked with the majority of New Zealand’s best pacers. Sooner The Bettor returns from a luckless Miracle Mile sixth and also starts alongside Mo’unga on the second line while Republican Party again faces the outside of the front line draw. While not being drawn on the change of stables for Don’t Stop Dreaming co-trainer Nathan Purdon says he is looking forward to the Free-For-All with Chase A Dream, who gets barrier 1 this Friday. “He really needed last week’s run and while he will be better for this week too we think he can go close,” says Purdon. The night’s two other main features are the Harness Million for the three-year-old pacers and Marketplace will start red hot after drawing inside Rubira in the $200,000 NZB Standardbred final for the Colts and Geldings (7.59pm). “We all know how good Marketplace is but Rubira beat him by going forward last week and I see no reason for us not to do that again,” says Purdon. Add in Got The Chocolates and Greased Lightnin and the race has good numbers and decent depth. The $150,000 fillies pace (7.34pm) is shorn of last Friday’s stunning winner Beside Me as she is ineligible but includes the other impressive filly from last Friday in Stella Rouge, who will start favourite from barrier 5. The Cullens have a strong hand in that Listed race too with Winelight (1) and Arafura (2) over the 2200m mobile. The meeting also hosts two $35,000 Metro Finals for the Trotters and Pacers while Race 4, the RSM Mobile Pace, sees the return of last season’s northern juvenile star Captain Sampson after two recent workouts.

Multiple Group One-winner Snazzytavi has had an acute episode of laminitis and is unlikely to race again. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Cambridge Stud are hoping Snazzytavi will continue to draw on all her fighting qualities to win out in her battle against illness. The multiple Group One-winning daughter of Tavistock is currently doing as well as can be expected, receiving the best of local and international care. “She remains at Matamata Vets where she has been for the last three or four weeks and has had an acute episode of laminitis, which is a chronic condition,” Cambridge’s Chief Executive Officer Henry Plumptre said. “They got on to it pretty quickly and engaged the services of a Kentucky vet, Scott Morrison, who is overseeing her rehab and she’s got a very good team at MVS looking after her. “She’s got to the point now where she is out in a small paddock for six hours a day and able to walk around and got specialists shoes on and casts on her front legs for support. “She is bright and eating and drinking well and it’s now a case of waiting for the inflammation to disappear.” The stud is banking on Snazzytavi’s makeup to be a vital contributor to her recovery. “What makes her a little bit different to a lot of horses that contract laminitis is that she has an amazing constitution, she’s very tough and her mental state is good,” Plumptre said. “She is doing as well as she can possibly be, she’s very unlikely to return to a racecourse but she is obviously a very valuable breeding prospect.” Snazzytavi won nine of her 15 starts for trainers Graham Richardson and Rogan Norvall, including Group One victories in the Zabeel Classic (2000m) and Livamol Classic (2040m).

Leica Lucy will contest Saturday’s $1 million Group 1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Robbie Patterson couldn’t have wished for a smoother preparation with Leica Lucy into Saturday’s Group 1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham, where the filly will make her Kiwi swansong as hot favourite in the $1 million feature. Leica Lucy made light work of her rivals on debut back in November, and from that point forward, she has been dominant. Along the way, the daughter of Derryn has won the Group 3 Eulogy Stakes (1600m), Group 3 New Zealand Bloodstock Desert Gold Stakes (1600m), and Group 2 David and Karyn Ellis Fillies’ Classic (2000m) and her three-length demolition in the Group 2 Lowland Stakes (2100m). Patterson shared plenty of admiration for his young star, who secured her status as NZB Filly of the Year with an unassailable lead over sprinter Alabama Lass. “She’s leap-frogged from a maiden race, into a three-year-old race and she’s been in Group races ever since,” he said. “She’s just taken every step in her stride, it’s been unbelievable really and for nothing to go wrong. “We knew we had a good horse, but you don’t expect everything to go right all the time and it just has. It’s been an incredible climb, you don’t usually get that with a horse but she’s just one out of the box. “I’m just counting down for the next four days to the race really.” Since her Lowland romp, it has been business as usual for Leica Lucy back in New Plymouth, as she attempts to become Patterson’s second Oaks winner after Legs’ triumph in 2006, while training in partnership with Kevin Gray. “We’ve done pretty much the same thing as she has done between all of her races, I’ve just given her an extra gallop than she did leading into the Lowland,” Patterson said. “She had a good hit-out this morning but she’s come off the track bouncing, she’s a very happy horse and I couldn’t be happier with her.” Starting at $1.40, $1.30 and $1.10 with horse racing betting sites in her last three appearances, the pressure and expectation to win has been a constant for Patterson, a factor he won’t miss when Leica Lucy heads to Chris Waller’s stable in Sydney after the Oaks. “It will take the pressure off me I will admit, when you’ve got a $1.30 shot going around in a Group One,” he said. “I am looking forward to seeing her go to Australia to tell the truth, it’s where she belongs and I can’t be there all the time with just one horse. It’s fantastic for the owners Pete and Heather Crofskey here in New Zealand, it’s great for them to have a good horse racing over there. “We’ve got a great association with Ozzie Kheir (part-owner) as well now, he’s been fantastic to deal with and if she can go there and do well, you never know, he may want another one off us another time.” Horse racing news View the full article
