Grenacha to make race day debut

Following an easy second placing in her first public appearance at the Waipa trials last month, the imposing daughter of Keeper, Grenacha, will make her race debut tomorrow at Whangarei in the Maiden Fillies & Mares event over 1200m.

With leading hoop Danielle Johnson taking the reins, Grenacha will carry the colours of Haunui Farm, although has a wide barrier that she will have to contend with.

“She’s a big strong filly that has really hit the ground running this preparation, but I think she is still one season away” co-trainer Chad Ormsby said.

“Her jumpouts were solid and she vindicated this by her tidy second placing at the trials.”

“We are making the most of the good Ruakaka surface as it looks like it will sit close to a Good3.”
