TSR Weekly Wrap | 24 Oct 2023
Wins in three states over a few days is not something we achieve all that often, but the stable achieved it in the past week.
Wheres The Gold and Our Vinnie kicked off the sequence at Globe Derby Park in SA on Friday.
Our Vinnie qualified for the SA Derby by taking out a heat and Wheres The Gold is SA Pacing Cup bound on Saturday after saluting in a heat.
Wheres The Gold is aiming to repeat his Tasmania Cup success early in the year.
Hesallmuscle had to be satisfied with a second in SA Trotters Cup heat, but will also line up in the feature final.
Mach Dan took centre stage with his second consecutive win in the $50,000 G3 Geelong Pacing Cup on Saturday night.
He found the lead and then held off Major Moth by a neck to give us the quinella.
Mach Dan’s third win for the season gives him a lifetime record of 24 wins and $872,585.
What a marvelous horse he is.
Major Delight is also on her way to another big final after taking out a NSW Breeders Challenge 3yo fillies’ semi-final at Menangle on Saturday night.
