SIR DARCI makes race day debut Taupo Monday 9th. SING LIKE ELLA to resume also,

Promising Fortuna 3yo SIR DARCI ( Darci Brahma-Dominant) makes his much awaited race day debut in a Maiden 3yo event at Taupo  Race 3 @ 1.49pm) Monday 9th. SIR DARCI was a very impressive trial winner at Te Teko 6th August. Raced by the Fortuna Sir Darci Syndicate, SIR DARCI was acquired from the draft of the Oaks Stud at the 2012 Karaka Premier Sales. He has drawn the ace barrier and will be ridden by Kelly Myers; Trainer, Jason Bridgman, is very happy with his charge pre race.

Earlier in the day and dependent on some more scratchings in order to make the field, 4yo Mare, SING LIKE ELLA (Danasinga-Fitzgerelda) will make her first start as a 4yo in a Maiden 1000 metre event. SING LIKE ELLA, a 2011 Ready to Run Sale Graduate,  had four starts as a 3yo for one third placing. She has a difficult draw to over come on the tight Taupo track and will be ridden by Te Akau Racing’s new apprentice Michael Dee.
