Say I Do finished off her solo 1200m workout in good style at today’s Hastings trackwork session.
It was another quiet session, with several horses from the centre entered for the Foxton trials later in the day.
Say I Do worked in from the 1200m peg on the plough in 1:26.2, running the first 600m in an easy 47.6 before quickening over the last 600 in 38.6.
The Pierro mare hasn’t raced since finishing second over 1600m at Wanganui on January 10 but underwent a strong gallop on the Waipukurau course proper last week and will line up in a Rating 65 fillies and mares race over 1600m at Tauherenikau this Friday. Apprentice Hayley Hassman has been booked to ride her.
Her stablemate La Dulcin’ee will also head to Tauherenikau and this morning she worked over 800m early in the session, in bad light. She was timed to run the last 600 in 39.9 and will contest the Rating 65 race over 1000m on Friday, with Bruno Queiroz to ride her.

Sea Star Win finished well clear of stablemate Adera at the end of 600m in 40.6 and is another who is likely to line up at Sunday’s Otaki meeting.
Sihia worked early in the session and ran 800m, the last 600 in 41.5 while a Rock ‘N’ Pop four-year-old gelding worked over 800m, coming home the last 600 in 42.2.
