Bet N Win warmed up for New Zealand’s richest trotting features with his big fresh up victory in the $35,000 Group Three Lamb & Hayward Trotters Classic (2600m).
A lack of recent racing was nothing for the NZB Standardbred graduate’s fans to worry about as he strode to a comfortable win against a field of race-hardened opponents.
The $600,000 Listed TAB Trot (2200m) at Cambridge’s Night Of Champions is among the host of big trotting targets Bet N Win has in his sights in the coming weeks.
The star trotter got his build up toward those lucrative features off to the best possible start with his win at Addington on Friday night for trainers David and Stacey White and driver Bob Butt.
“Fresh up in these sorts races against those hardened horses is never easy, but he was too good for them,” Butt said.
The White stable will target the upcoming Group One Fred Shaw Memorial New Zealand Trotting Championship in Bet N Win’s sights, before looking towards Cambridge.
“We will come back in a fortnight for the Fred Shaw, then all going well we will be off to Cambridge,” David White said.
Bet N Win was secured by David White for $32,500 when the squaregaiter was offered among the Breckon Farms draft at the 2021 National Yearling Sale at Auckland.
The five-year-old is raced by the Odds On Syndicate, Peter Baken, Richard Cole, PI & GJ Kennard Bloodstock Ltd, the Breckon Racing Syndicate, Marlene White, Carl Markham, Andrew Di Iorio, Polly Marriott and the estate of the late Wayne Ramsay.
The Breckon Racing Syndicate, Richard Cole and the Odds On Syndicate are slot holders for the $600,000 TAB Trot, with Bet N Win set to start in their slot. Bet N Win is also in line for a Group One Rowe Cup (3200m) tilt, while the trotter could also return to the Queensland Constellations Carnival, where he won the Listed The Stellar Square (2138m).
