Late bloomer Jethro Tull sparked another family celebration when he doubled his winning tally at Te Rapa.

A decision to bypass the Gr.3 Winter Cup (1600m) a fortnight ago paid dividends for the connections of Pride Of Aspen on Sunday, as the mare went three in a row in the Free Court (2100m) at Hawera.

Byerley Park trainers Grant Cooksley and Bruce Wallace had a strong representation in Saturday’s star-studded 1000m trial at Te Rapa, and they are hoping a big spring is instore for their quartet of triallers.

The Group I Prix Maurice de Gheest (1300m) was run at Deauville overnight with emerging bloodstock superpowers Wathan Racing and Resolute Racing expected to fight out the finish with their last start G1 winners Lazzat and Woodshauna, but there was a horse that had other ideas.
