Recap Breaks Through For First Win

4yo mare, Recap gave her connections something to smile about after she notched up her first race victory at Casterton today. Appreciating the step up in trip especially to the 1800m with the venue change, she jumped well but was a bit keen early so Blaike McDougall took hold and she came back to him nicely. He followed the $1.45 fav Castrel Trosino into the lane then switched off its back and levelled up half way down the running. Although the fav gave a good kick, our girl dug deep and did best to score a well deserved win.

 

Recap is not overly blessed with talent but she tries hard whenever she goes around and 7 placings from her first 10 starts is testament to that. Finally she is a winner and that is all she needs on her resumé as she will eventually progress to the breeding barn.

 

She will head to an online sale shortly and the fact she’s from the same family of the champion Fastnet Rock will add a bit of lustre to her appeal as a broodmare but there is still plenty of racing ahead of her yet!
