Consistent galloper Humbucker will step out on his home track at Gore on Wednesday in the first step towards a start in the Gr.3 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile (1600m) at Riccarton on November 15.
Versatile galloper Taramea Lad provided ample evidence he will be a force to be reckoned with in the Gr.3 Martin Collins New Zealand Cup (3200m) in November.
Gore trainer Ellis Winsloe has the Gr.3 Winning Edge Presentations Winter Cup (1600m) in his sights for progressive galloper Taramea Lad, who will aim to secure his place in the Riccarton feature this weekend.
Ellis Winsloe’s immediate focus has switched to a prestige event closer to home after a Group One northern target has been ruled out for his talented performer Humbucker.
