All Too Hard three-year-old Springthorpe notched up his fourth win for McKay-based trainer Olivia Cairns at his home-track on Saturday.
Bought from Mick Price Racing via gavelhouse.com for $10,500, Springthorpe has since won $36,700 for connections with Saturday’s victory impressive when clearing out from his rivals to win the Class 3 Mojos Plate (1300m) with a length in hand.
“It was a bit nerve racking when I saw him out in front as that wasn’t really the plan but Nathan Day is a good judge and knew what he was doing,” commented trainer Olivia Cairns to Sam Hyland in a post-race interview.
“He’s a handy horse and gives his all under pressure.”
“We will sit down and talk about the plan for him next week.”
