Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Jarrod Austin and Nash Rawiller combined with Terra Mater ($3.50) to take out the Group 3 Tibbie Stakes at Newcastle on Friday afternoon, with the win delivering Austin his first Group 3 winner of his training career. Rawiller has been aboard the Wandjina mare for eight of her 17 starts, and he recorded his sixth victory in the Tibbie, following an absolute peach of a ride from barrier two. After jumping the best of the field, Rawiller allowed his mount to settle behind Overriding ($7), who took the lead within the first 300m before working off the rail to cruise up to the leader on the home turn. Behind the leader and winner, Roots ($5), Hell Hath No Fury ($19), and Hellavadancer ($8) chased hard but never looked as though they would catch Terra Mater, as she kicked clear with 200m to go and was able to record a strong win. After trailing the winner and only getting into clear air late in the piece, Roots flew home for second, and Overriding was able to hold on for third place. 2024 Tibbie Stakes replay – Terra Mater Jarrod Austin was on course to speak about the win post-race. “What a ripper she is,” Austin said. “We came here with a bit of confidence, she came through her Mona Lisa run really well. “Every hurdle we give her, she jumps through easily, its a really great feeling. “He’s (Rawiller) a fantastic rider, he’s educated her early and really nursed her through all of her wins. “He got the trail and when she got out, she loves a fight and she was too good.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
