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

My wife views my daily activities, never a week passes without “why are you in such a hurry?”. Well, I respond, I have used a great deal more time than I now have available. I believe the message, race a horse whilst you can remember the jockey’s name should be implanted as an enjoyable addition to our bucket list.
