Rogerson keen on Soriano

6 March 2015

Graeme Rogerson is expecting another bold showing from Soriano at Ellerslie on Saturday.

“She’s a genuine weight-for-age horse and this is a good stepping stone to Sydney,” he said. “She’ll only have the one run in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.”

Already the dual Group One winner of the Zabeel Classic and the Herbie Dyke Stakes, Soriano will bid to add to that record in the Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand Stakes. Rory Hutchings again has the ride.

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.
