Inquisition Finally!

We could say we have been waiting a while longer than initially thought for Inquisition to show on race day what he shows in his work at home.

'Jake' won with ease by 4 lengths at Hokitika yesterday, running a better time than the other distance races of the day and backing up his nice second at Kumara. Shane instructed Jamie Bullard to make a move for the front and try to put some pressure on to remian there, and it paid off, with him never looking like he was going to stop. Hopefully he will take some confidence out of his performance and go on to Riccarton in a good frame of mind.

Bradnor ran second in the Hokitika Cup, narrowly beaten by Noble Warrior. Ridden perfectly by Paul Taylor he was in the trail for most of the Journey looking for an out which was a little slow in coming, he had a little interference, but after looking at the film a protest was not lodged. He is a grand old man around the stable and a firm favourite so it was pleasing to see another good effort from him.
