Stable Weekly Wrap | 15 March 2021
LIKE A WILDFIRE blew away his rivals to lead home a stable trifecta in the group 3 $35,000 Charlton Pacing Cup on Sunday.
And didn’t Leigh Sutton love it with a wave of the whip as he crossed the line on Like A Wildfire ahead of Fourbigmen and Somewhere Secret.
The NZ-bred 6yo was previously trained by the late Gavin Lang, who produced him for wins at his first five Australian starts in early-mid 2019.
This was Like A Wildfire’s first country cup start.
WEEKLY REVIEW
- LIKE A WILDFIRE (Leigh Sutton) - Charlton Pacing Cup, 2570m (1:56.9), at Charlton on Sunday, March 14. Patiently driven in the running line and swept home wide to score by 2.3m with a last 400m in 27.8sec.
- SEACHANGE (Kate Gath) – Alabar 3yo Pace, 1720m (career-best 1:58.2), at Melton on Saturday, March 13. She’s a model of consistency with 2 wins, 4 seconds and 1 third from 7 starts. Led and untroubled.
- MACH DAN (James Herbertson) – TAB Long May We Play Pace, 2240m (1:55.6), at Melton on Saturday, March 13. Completed a stable double. That is 2 wins on end since returning from break. Saved for last run at leader and hit the line with a neck to spare.
