Epatante impressive
The Neil Coulbeck-trained Epatante recorded one of the most impressive wins of the day in the Arawata Jewellers Handicap, posting a time of 1:16 for the 1200 m, 1.6 s faster than Cadmium took to win the day’s open class sprint.
The three-year-old daughter of Schweppeshire Lad was soon worked to the front by in-form rider, Chris Johnson, and simply careered away from her rivals, beating the surprise hot favourite, Ellen Killeen, by six lengths, with the durable
Kubiak running on well for third.
Epatante has also shown appreciation of heavy ground when successful at Omoto last month and yesterday’s win was her third for her Timaru breeders, Danny Hammond and Jimmy Kerr.
