Quiet run for Rostriever Hanover
Rostriever Hanover, which is being sent north on Sunday for the Auckland Trotting Club’s Lion Red Mile series, was given a quiet run, finishing last of the five runners, in the Cl and faster mobile pace at the Ashburton trials yesterday. “He’s done terrific," said trainer-reinsman, Pat O’Reilly jun. “In fact he’s done a bit too well, that's why he was here today.” O’Reilly let last month's New Zealand Messenger and Motorcorp 2000 winner run along wide out in the early stages of the trial, then eased him back to last after 600 m. The Plat du.Jour gelding was not hurried over his closing 400 m in 28.45. Rostriever Hanover will be, again stabled at lan Hilliard’s Pukekohe stables, with O’Reilly going north to drive the horse in a semi-final of the Lion Red series at Alexandra Park next Saturday. Rostriever Hanover’s trial yesterday resulted in • an all-the-way win for Master Vance (Doug Breed) in 3:12.3, winning by a length from the 1:59.1 placed three-year-old filly, Adios Miss, now a six-year-old and on the comeback trail.
