Travis Stakes for Tie Me Down

13 March 2015

Strapping mare Tie Me Down will make her next two appearances on her home track before heading north for a Group Two assignment.

“She’ll run here on Sires’ Produce day in the open 1400 and then the Manawatu Breeders’ Stakes and the Travis at Te Rapa,” Awapuni trainer Roydon Bergerson said.

Tie Me Down has won five of her seven starts and last time out she added the Listed Wairarapa Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes to her record.
