Eridick sprints fast in training
By
J. J. BOYLE
The Foxton trainer Paddy Busuttin made a rushed trip south to observe the activities of his Riccarton-based team in training yesterday and must have returned north reassured with what he saw.
The Busuttin-trained Eridick supplied one of the highlights of the Riccarton training yesterday. He led his stablemate Saddleman after hurrying from the 800 m on the plough in 48.85, the last 600 m in 365. Eridick is one of the favourites for the Woodbourne Tavern and Renwick Arms Handicap at Kumara and was ridden by - his race rider, Grant Davison.
Aegean Princess, one of the top fancies for the Kumara Nuggets, was paired with Argite for
800 m, but beat her stablemate comfortably by two lengths in 50.85, the last 600 m strongly in 36.85.
Dreamville wound up his preparation for the Kumara Nuggets with a steady 1:35.4 for 1400 m, and 38.8 s for the final 600 m.
Another Look, a form runner for the Kumara Stayers’ Plate, ran her 1200 m in 1:21.6, the final 600 m in 38s. Her stablemate Secured Money sprinted 800 m in 525, quickening for the last 600 m in 37.45.
Water Waggon was under a snug hold while running 600 m in 395. Another Decision followed in 37.25.
Critique and Palteen Down, members of the Tom Lalor team about to embark on their careers, sprinted 800 m on terms in 38s.
