Just a quick update on Tarpins. He ran a solid fifth last start at Kyneton, led around the straight and ran on well. He was coming third 50 metres from the line, but the leaders cut him off and Rawiller had to stop riding. He finished only 1.7 lengths behind the leader. Trainer and jockey were both rapt with the run.
He’s racing again at Cranbourne on Sunday in a 2025 metre race. The stable expect him to give a strong showing, now he’s had two solid runs under his belt and is back to his favoured distance.
1.20 pm – Race 3 Horse 3 – Jockey is Brad Rawiller again and he’s out of barrier 5.
We’ll be heading out there on Sunday to watch.
Happy punting.

Good job I didn’t have a bet on it. The audio replay link on the TAB site doesn’t work so what went wrong?

It was probably his worst run. Finished 10 lengths from the leaders, 11th of 13. Rawillier put himin a nice position early but he lost ground from about the 1000 metre mark and just plodded home. No excuses from the jockey or trainer; they were as baffled as the owners.
Nice work of yours not putting a bet on. I wasn’t as fortunate…
Still, had a top day out with my brother, Wakes and mum. A few beers were consumed and it was a very pleasant 28 degrees.
