Line Seeker gets the job done

24 November 2014

Paul O’Sullivan had no luck in the main event at Sha Tin last night, but a WS graduate ensured he didn’t go away empty-handed. Aerovelocity was out of the money in the Gr 2 Hong Kong Sprint for the expatriate Kiwi trainer who had earlier produced Line Seeker for a smart maiden win.

The O’Reilly three-year-old gave a dominant performance to beat his class four rivals with ease in the hands of Zac Purton. The gelding showed significant improvement on his unplaced debut effort last month, although he didn’t enjoy the best of runs on that occasion.

Line Seeker is a son of the unraced Zabeel mare Hooked Ona Feeling, who is a daughter of the dual Group Two winner Ugachaka. It is the family of the Group One winner and former Singapore Horse of the Year Bocelli.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

Mary and I had a great weekend. As usual, Taupo Race Club put on a couple of days that encourage you to go to the races. The lead-in to the day was an hour or so at the iconic Yacht Club Bar – an easy place to be, perched above the lake: wine, beer and pizzas provided. A chance to meet and greet, bearing in mind the visitors that make the effort to attend.
