Vibrato strikes right chord
New Zealand’s champion trainers look to have unearthed yet another promising type in Vibrato.
Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman produced the Sacred Falls juvenile to win at today’s Cambridge trials.
Racing close to the pace, he rounded off strongly to claim his 935 metre heat in the fastest time of the day.
