The Tarzino Trophy will be run at Hastings on September 1 and first nominations close next Tuesday.

"We have great confidence in the horse, and both The Tarzino Syndicate and Westbury Stud felt that it was important to recognise the contribution of the breeder in the running of the season's first Group One race, while being the first of the Cancer Society Racedays in the spring, it is important for us to get everyone in racing behind the day," Westbury Stud general manager Russell Warwick said.
