Tarry And Fourie Are Riding High Together

R300 000 Riding High Together Gr2 Gold Bracelet

The powerhouse big day combination of Richard Fourie and Sean Tarry kept Pick 6 players in a happy frame of mind when popular choice Bless My Stars won the R300 000 Riding High Together Gr2 Gold Bracelet at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday.

Coming in fresh off her cracking third-placed finish behind Winchester Mansion in the Hollywoodbets Durban July, and with a bit to do at the weights, the 3yo Bless My Stars finished best of all to register a superb victory under Winning Form rider, Richard Fourie.

Relaxed back of midfield early on as Virginia Sweet led the charge, Bless My Stars (15-10 was produced up the centre of the track by Fourie and stamped her authority to beat Saartjie (16-1) by 1,40 lengths in a time of 123,15 secs for the 2000m.

Gilded Butterfly (17-2) stayed on 0,80 lengths further back.

Sean Tarry confirmed that Bless My Stars had stayed at Summerveld after her Hollywoodbets Durban July run.

Bred by Varsfontein Stud, Bless My Stars is a daughter of this season’s champion sire Gimmethegreenlight (More Than Ready) out of the six-time winning Silvano mare, Star Express.

Raced by Kestorm Investments, Bless My Stars was a R250 000 National Yearling Sale graduate and took her stakes tally to R1 781 250, with her fifth victory and 5 places from 13 starts.

The Enchanting Currency Of Fate

It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
