Residential too good once again
Pins five-year-old Residential will be a valuable addition to the Waikato Stud broodmare band when her time comes.
She is a multiple stakes winner and at Wingatui on Saturday took her career winning tally to eight.
Trained by John and Karen Parsons, the mare made short work of her open class rivals in the hands of Tina Comignaghi.

They hail from the Group One winning family of Ajasco, Silver Liner, Petrava and Hoeberg.
