Tommu (Bettor’s pleasure) And I dream of Jeannie (Pegasus traces) Today won their respective function Harness Races in Oamaru.
Akuta was parked in today’s Pacing The $ 40,000 Group Three Placemakers Hannon Memorial and still won and defeated Dalton Shard with one and a half length with Macandrew Aviator a head back in third place.
“He felt great and was nice and nice outside of it. Bob (ass) looked like he wanted to stay in front, so I didn’t push the problem,” said Co Trainer and Driver Mark Purdon.
His winning time of 3-11.4 was a new track and racing record, in which Cullen’s Creek (2010) and Spankem’s (2019) were jointly reduced record of 3-13.4.
“He really only had three starts and one was a pretty tame affair. I think there is still improvement in him. He got a little tired at the end, but he was entitled to.”
Acute repetition
Purdon says that Akuta is exactly where he should be, with some large assignments for him.
“Maybe he will start in the Methven Cup.”
Akuta joins Franco Ledger (2012 and 2013), Iraklis (1997 and 1998), Blossom Lady (1990 and 1993), Idolmite (1980 and 1981, Palestine (1976 and 1997) and Johnny Globe (1951 and 1954) as double winners of De Hannon.
The Robert and Jenna Dunn Trained I Dream or Jeannie received the perfect trip from driver John Dunn and was too good in the $ 40,000 group three Jasmyn’s Gift Stakes, who defeated Paige with half a length with hidden talent back in third place.
“We have a good trip good enough. She got away nicely and was four or five back on the outer and the pace was nice in front. When I peeled her, she probably used that last corner she has had since I drove her. She can sometimes be a bit rough in Addington on the last corner. She did quite nice and I never did it and I did it.
I dream of Jennie Replay
The winning time of 3-17.4 reduced the Mars record of Hidden Talent of 3-18.8 and was just outside Moeney’s Allcomers record of 3-17.2.
It is the second time I dream of Jeannie won this race when she won the inaugural trotting function in 2022 when she was trained by Sam Smolenski.
“We got Sam’s horse. He focused more on his chiropractic work and spent more time with the children and he told the owners to send her our way. She came to us like a fit and healthy horse and she would race at that highest level for a large number of years.
