Procurement close to resuming

23 September 2014

Well-related mare Procurement will be back in action next month.

The half-sister by O’Reilly to the Gr.2 Reisling Stakes winner Hips Don’t Lie is one of a number of lightly-tried horses close to stepping out for Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh.

“Procurement and Lime Street, who had one start for a win last season, will trial at Waipa and then kick off at Ellerslie on October 25,” he said.

“I’ve also got a lot of unraced three and four-year-olds and it’s an exciting team.”

Procurement has won two of her four starts and hasn’t raced since she finished fourth at Te Aroha in February.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

The two of you will be aware of my ongoing concern as to the future of our sport. You could argue I have a vested interest; well, I did have, but my interest now is to give the future generations the opportunity my generation had. Now I can tell you, hand on heart, there were many financial thin times. 1975 was my fledgling start with five mares on 130 acres that occasionally flooded with the well-bred, non-race-winning Super Gray.
