Callsign Mav (yellow) holds out the challenge of Spring Tide to claim his second successive Tarzino Trophy (1400m) at Hastings on Saturday. Rising local galloper Callsign Mav took out his second $220,000 Tarzino Trophy (1400m) in succession, lifting strongly in a desperate finish to the feature event at Hastings on Saturday. Rider Jonathan Riddell had no hesitation in taking Callsign Mav to the front from barrier rise, where he set up a solid speed after being taken on by several runners early in the piece. Idling around the home bend, Riddell sent his mount for home, opening up a three-length advantage and being hailed the winner at the 250m. Out of the Volksraad mare Raadisi, Callsign Mav has now won six of his 18 starts and over $439,000 in prize money.
