The big girl BESIDE ME is back at Addington tonight and she is ready!

“It is not going to be easy but I am confident she is ready to go,” says co-trainer Cran Dalgety.
“She is drawn wide with some good fillies inside her but her trial last week was really good and she is ready to be driven tough if she has to be."

“Sure, she will get better with the run but she can win.”

🎁 Earlier this year Josh Mantell was the winner of the HRNZ Next Gen "Win a Share in a Race Horse" competition. His lucky prize was a share in TOUR PARTY, a full brother to multiple Group 1 winner REPUBLICAN PARTY!

He came out to the stable to visit his latest prized possession and checked his progress since their last meeting at our Kentuckiana Open Day, not long after the NZB Yearling Sales.

Owned along with a large racing syndicate, we know we aren't the only ones excited to get him to the races!
