“Most of our horses will be racing up here for the next three or four months, there’s nothing better than racing on your home track. No travelling for the horses and saves costs for the owners."
“Follow Your Dreams was more forward than the other one and it was nice to see him get a win again because he has been out of the winner’s circle for quite a while."
After a mixed spring preparation, Illicit Dreams announced herself as a key figure in the upcoming southern Guineas series with a dominant Rating 75 victory at Omoto on Wednesday.
Age has certainly not wearied Ken Rae and Krystal Williams’ senior gallopers The Buffer and Zelenski, and the consistent pair pose a key threat in the Kurow Cup West Coast Steeplechaser (1400m) on Saturday.
Trainers Ken Rae and Krystal Williams are hoping Illicit Dreams can get her Gr.1 Barneswood Farm NZ 1000 Guineas (1600m) preparation back on track at Ashburton on Sunday in the Juice Signs (1400m).
