Back to the races tomorrow at Wanganui.
Race 2 at 12.45dn 3yo 1200m.
All In Valour aka Thistle. She has had a good prep this time and finally showing us she wants to actually be here. Trialed recently over 1200m at Foxton and won her heat nicely with Jim Chung in the saddle. He has also ridden her in her jumpouts this time in too so knows her quirks well and pairs with her tomorrow.
Good luck to her owners

Races at New Plymouth today. Ikan in race 6 at 3.05.
This is a reasonable field as most are aiming for the Oaks but she has raced against similar already and we know the distance wont hurt when she ran an unlucky 3rd over this distance at New Plymouth last start.
Good luck to all connections

Off to New Plymouth tomorrow with
All in Darwin.
Race 4 at 3.38 mdn 1600m with Courtney Renee Barnes aboard. There has been a heap of rain bring the teack back to a heavy 10, but she did jumpout over winter on a heavy track and got through it fine. So it shouldn't worry her too much.

Waipukarau races tomorrow we have 2 runners. Ikan and All in Darwin. Both in the mdn 3yo 1600m
Rosie is more than ready to step up in distance and Ruby is having her 1st start but staying is in her blood and she will appreciate the tempo of the mile.
Celtic Echo was in for the cup but unfortunately a slight infection has meant not to be this time. She will keep and be ready to step out next start over her suited longer distances.
Good luck to the owners and hope to see some of you there for what will be sure to be a great day out.
The club has put out an update on the track and it should be a foot perfect surface tomorrow
