Apprentice jockey Sam McNab is having a season to remember, which was further enhanced at Te Rapa on Saturday when he rode his first winning treble.

Accomplished winter galloper Dusty Road is making all the right moves ahead of a new campaign with sights already set on a stakes target.

With a view to what the long-term future holds for Saturday’s feature Tauranga winner Omega Boy, the Gr.2 Awapuni Gold Cup (2100m) will be next on his schedule to assess his middle-distance potential.

Three months after starting the season as a two-win horse with a rating of 70, Agera stepped on to the big stage at Tauranga on Saturday and became a weight-for-age winner in the Gr.2 Gartshore Construction Tauranga Stakes (1530m).

“I have had a pretty good start, so to get a winner early on is really rewarding.”
