Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 17, 2021 Journalists Share Posted November 17, 2021 Kiwi import Witsabouthim (NZ) (Savabeel) is set to make his debut for the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young stable on Saturday. The four-year-old Savabeel gelding recorded two wins from three starts in New Zealand from the stable of Tony Pike and will make his first appearance across the Tasman in a benchmark 78 event over a mile at Ballarat. “He is going to be a horse that will get out over further but it will be a nice kicking off point for him,” Busuttin said. “ They were average maiden races (in New Zealand) so it will be a jump up to 78 grade at what is classed as city meeting here. “I think he will be a very nice horse once he gets out over 2000m or even further to a mile and a half. “He doesn’t appear to have much tactical speed so I’m picking he will get back and be finishing very strongly.” Witsabouthim steps out on Saturday in the silks of prominent Australian owner Ozzie Kheir with several of the original entities remaining in the ownership group since his private sale. “The guys, Ozzie and John (O’Neill), seem to know where to find them and he appeared and rated very well on their rating system,” Busuttin said. “I’m certainly happy enough to go along with them and to have the horse in the stable.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
