11 SCENE 1 SEPTEMBER, 2020 Scene around... www.sceneonline.co.nz Partnership win part of a big week for locals C elebrations were well deserved when local train - ers Steve Autridge and Kris Shailer capped a frus - trating run of second placings with their first partnership win at Rotorua last week. Steve and Kris went in partnership on August 1 and recorded their first combined win when Atomic Kitten won the final event last Wednesday in the hands of Craig Grylls. It was the 22nd time the Valachi Downs stable had sent out a runner and the win came after eight second placings. In a heart-stopping finish, Atomic Kitten got home by a mere short head from the Vicki Prendergast trained and part-owned Holy Senorita after the thought of yet another second placing must have run through her trainers’ minds. A Makfi four-year-old mare bred and raced by Kevin Hickman, Atomic Kitten had shown glimpses of promise in 11 previous starts, including a sec - ond on the same track last January. Kris had previously trained in partnership with his brother, Paul, for three seasons, preparing 47 winners with the last success coming with Lady Le Fay in the Listed Anzac 1600 at Awapuni in April 2015. Now that he has once again tasted raceday success as a trainer, Kris is no doubt keen to see other members of their promising team step up this season. Steve and Kris’ 45-strong team includes recent runners-up Prosperous, Lord Painton, Laced With Gold and Communique and Woodcote Las as well as Kelly Renee, who resumed with a fourth on a heavy10 track at Te Aroha after ending last season with a second in the Group 2 $100,000 J.
