MOTIONTIME WINS IN NAIL-BITING FINISH

By Tayler Strong

Motiontime held on to win in a close finish to the Speight's 1200m at Wingatui today.

Ridden by Kavish Chowdhoory, she raced outside the pacemaker Miss Brittany, led early in the run home and lasted by half a head from Magneto who came from second last early. There was a neck to third-placed Perfect Moment .

Motiontime, who won her previous start at Riccarton, is a 3yr-old filly trained by Michael and Matthew Pitman.

He is sound, easy on the ground and in work. An extremely reluctant sale as part of stables dispersal. Inspections very welcome.

Check out this horse on Gavelhouse. A one-win mare with heaps of potential, including proven ability on Polytrack. She has recently returned from a spell and is in light work.

Congrats and thank you Pitman Racing Stables. We are so proud of King Cougar bringing home the win for Paul. Great ride Yogesh Atchamah!

Michael and Matthew Pitman played a starring role at Kumara on Saturday coming away from the eight-race card with two wins and eight placings, including back-to-back trifectas 😍

The stable’s standout performance came from talented sprinter Third Decree, who added the Phoenix Materials to her unbeaten record at Kumara, recording her maiden winner on the same day last year 🙌

The father-son team also saddled Charbano to a third placing in the Vernon & Vazey Truck Parts Kumara Gold Nuggets 🏆
