Partners back in winning business
The breeding and racing partnership of Garry Chittick and Gary Wallace look to have another exciting prospect on their hands.

Her sister Eleanor Rigby is now on the board following her victory over a mile at Matamata this afternoon.

Eleanor Rigby is a daughter of Forty Two Below who is by O’Reilly and a sister to the stakes winner The Big Chill, also a Group One placegetter.
