TOMORROW: COULD IT BE AN OLD GOLD WINNING DOUBLE?

ATAVUS and QUEEN OF FRANCE head to Hāwera on Wednesday 4 November, both coming off exciting second placings and giving us plenty to look forward to!

ATAVUS steps up to 2100m in the Rating 75. Shaun and Hazel are very happy with how he has come through his latest run and the improvement he has made.

QUEEN OF FRANCE tackles the Rating 60 over 1400m for her second-up run. She’s done very well since her debut, with Chris Dell aboard and the intention to go forward from her outside barrier.

Two horses. One day. The chance to celebrate twice!
