Oaks goal for Black Sav

15 December 2015

Awapuni three-year-old Black Sav has enjoyed an easy time ahead of her Group One preparation.

A first-up winner on her home track in November, she then had no luck at Trentham where she charged home after an interrupted run to finish fourth behind the unbeaten Natural Achiever.

“We put her in the paddock for 10 days after that – it’s a long lead-up to the Oaks,” trainer Lisa Latta said.

“She’s a beautiful filly and we’ll look at the three-year-old 1400m on Marton Cup day for her.”

The Corner with Garry Chittick

I don’t know if the two of you have ever had the thrill of travelling at high speed across the water on a single ski, totally dependent on the driver of the boat. Fall off and you are left treading water, reminds you of racing. Here we are, with multiple hints of navigation hanging on to the rope hoping for salvation.
