After searching for her owners with no luck she is now available for adoption. She is about 3-4 years old, de-sexed, 1st vaccination, flead, wormed and vet checked. She is a real sweetie who loves attention and cuddles. Would suit a quieter home where she can be herself and relax.

In fact, when it comes to the most appropriate result for any event that was it, the pacemaker Supreme Heights, trained locally by Mark Brosnan, fighting back coura - geously to win by a long head after looking likely the run - ner-up behind another local, the Jamie Richards-trained favourite Burgundy Belle, 100 metres from the winning post. Even Russell and Yvonne’s son, Murray, agreed the result was so apt, despite having had a share in a rival, La Mia Stella (seventh). ‘’I’d have liked to win our race, but this is probably an even better result,’’ he said. Murray’s brother, Lyall, making the annual trip north from his Waimate home to co-sponsor the race in memory of their parents, was thrilled with the outcome. “Mark trained Mum and Dad’s two best horses, Deputy Dancer and Mi Gazelle, and Mark also trained Keep Rocking for us,’’ said Lyall. ‘’I bred Keep Rocking and raced him with Mum and Dad and Murray. He was a family horse and won a couple for us.
