That’s How We Roll!

Thats How We Roll notched his second career win when taking honours in the Christmas in Colours Rating 65 event over 2100m yesterday at Te Rapa.

The five-year-old son of Pentire has demonstrated glimpses of above average ability during his lightly tried career, although has strung two very impressive performances together this time in, and is shaping up to be a very promising stayer.

Thats How We Roll was ridden by Michael Coleman - giving him a double for the day – and the ‘King’ was very complimentary of the horse’s performance.

“He was a bit keen in the early stages but quickly come back to me and settled a treat throughout the trip,” said Coleman.

“I felt he was going to win by more when we hit the lead but he wanted to have a bit of a look around, so there is still more in store for him.”

Co-trainer Chad Ormsby has been pleased with his work over the past couple of weeks and sees him as a potential up and coming stayer for the stable.

“The way he won today really impressed me,” said Ormsby.

“He ran 37.05 for the last 600m coming from the back off a pretty slow pace, which can be quite hard to do, so we are looking forward to seeing how progresses over the coming months.”
