A second and third at Matamata but we hope to go one better tomorrow!

Today owner Dave Trubshoe cheered home Savvy Dancer into second place but is hoping that he can go one better with his two chances tomorrow (Ghostinthemachine and Crown Of Thorns pictured with Dave).

"Savvy Dancer ran really well today but was just beaten by a better horse on the day". " I am really happy that Savvy finally got the chance to race and he did the stable proud as he gave it his all. Reese Jones gave him a lovely ride but on the day Excuse Me Madam was just to good" reported Andrew.

Meanwhile our other runner at Matamata Double Take also went a very respectable race to be placed third.

Looking forward to tomorrow we have three runners in at Te Rapa Ghostinthemachine, Crown Of Thorns and Hollywood Bowl.

Andrew said " Ghostinthemachine and Crown Of Thorns should be good each-way chances tomorrow while Hollywood Bowl will be an outsider but could go a very cheeky race in the $25,000 maiden if all goes his way"

"Its hard to say which of our three runners I prefer as Crown Of Thorns is a better horse than most of his rivals in my opinion but the track may not end up suiting him perfectly and Ghostinthemachine is in a similar boat, while Hollywood Bowl has been freshened to drop back in distance to 1600m but has the ability to win"

When asked which of his two runners he thinks will do the best tomorrow Dave Trubshoe responded " as an owner of course you want them both to win, but i'd really like to see Crowny win tomorrow and I think he can, especially as we have utilized Harry Kasims claim but we just don't want the track to get to wet"
