love racing. Dot-seins-ed. You're home, of thoroughbred racing. It is Tuesday and that means it's our great pleasure to talk to Pipp Morris who's such a busy girl these days because of her work on television as well extensively. So let's talk about what's happening down in Rickerton if we can Pipp Australia. David Walsh apparently has got quite an impressive trialist to follow. Good morning Smather. He certainly does. She's by face impact his first two-year-old to hit the trials and she was absolutely just outstanding. Really, Zelia has her name. She won by 15 links there comfortably. Now they were chopping up the track so it depends how well the three-year-old and behind her were traveling obviously but the way that she did it there for David Walsh who doesn't train many and he's keeping this fully. She's heading towards the races in two weeks time but that was ultra-professional. Didn't move on her at all up the home straight and she just blew them away so she has one absolutely to follow, best impact too. It could be already leaving them on the track. Right, okay. We didn't really touch yesterday too much on racing at Rickerton but the Canterbury of Wales Steaks was, that was an impressive one for the Tony Pike horse. Yeah, Oak Stud could be in for a really nice spring. That was Rezaia back in fresh too. She was a pretty nice two-year-old last season but she came back in great form for Tony Pike. They thought she may need the run too but she certainly didn't. She was very tough to the line too getting taken on but she got right up over there. She has been shortened in two of a thousand guineas through the Group 1s Wood Farms New South. Do you feel in to guineas and to ten dollars too in that futures market after a Canterbury Bell Steaks win? She just looks like she's probably come back bigger and better. She's from a really nice family too. She's actually well related to Entrum Coast who of course won the Group 2 Alistair Clerks Steaks over in Australia for Steven Marsh. I think she's another one for Tony Pike. We know he's always got nice horses around him, smoothie. I want to follow maybe into that thousand guineas if you like it. Speaking of nice horses, the Wexford team, a Sullivan Scott team. Lacks a little test just keeps on winning for them. She does. I tried to take her on over the weekend wondering if she'd get that 1400 metres but she certainly did. She came up against a nice one for Katrina and Simon Alexander and Midnight Scandal and Sam Spret had that lead but once Lauren presented her up the home straight, she's really lifted, hearing him afterwards. She said she possibly could get out to the mile but at this stage you think she's a 12 to 1400 metre horse hoping that maybe Wexford will aim her towards some steaks races. Why wouldn't you the way that she's put in the moe? Probably not on that ideal track conditions either. Maybe it'll be interesting to see what she does if she can get up on top of the ground but yeah look out for her if she does head towards any of those steaks races because I thought that was probably her toughest test to date, a really strong field and she still put them away. Cambridge tomorrow, some nice Debbie Dunst to keep an eye on? It's a really nice maiden field particularly race number six. I thought one to have a look at there. There's a couple starting off for Mark Walker and Sam Burgess and but I like Anton Glenn Old and he knows how to produce a youngster and Jasmine Forza has ridden this horse twice. There's a three-year-old guarding by US Navy flag. She rode him at the trials when he was a two-year-old and he looked really professional there. He came back and won a trial on the synthetic Cambridge on August the 20th. Other than 950 again really professional. He beat Love Poem who holds a nomination for Topo on Friday and Love Poem was in Mademata Breeders in place in that last season. I think Anton won to watch their race number six tomorrow on the synthetic. And racing of course is Cambridge Trots today which is an isolated Tuesday feature but Palmerston North Greyhounds as well live in races. For a minute there I thought you were going to ask me for a shot of some of the yester next time Ellie in the race number five Roswell and I have both made her the best bit so hopefully she can get over the line for us. She's paying around two dollars for us last time I checked. It's great. You have a great week. Thanks very much for joining us as always on a Tuesday. You too, Smitty. Have a good one.
