Talented mare Burgie turned a frustrating campaign around with a powerful finish to win Saturday’s Gr.3 Valachi Downs South Island Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Riccarton.
Riccarton trainer Meg Cunneen is hoping to break new ground on two counts this week: securing her first stakes win on her home track and winning her first race on the all-weather surface.
White Robe Lodge resident Ghibellines has made his mark on the biggest stage in Australia and the stallion continues to do the Mosgiel operation proud.
A change of tack with Inflamed could reap dividends at Riccarton on Saturday when the filly lines-up in the Listed New Zealand Bloodstock Warstep Stakes.
