"That is why we came here, to get more ringcraft, rather than going to the fillies’ race next week,’’ the trainer said. Rider Chris Johnson noticed a real difference in the tractability of the daughter of classy Kiwi racehorses Darci Brahma and The Jewel from her first to her second win. ‘‘When the pace quickened, she dropped over second and relaxed well and won well again.’’Johnson scored a quartet of wins yesterday. Earlier in the programme, Johnson guided Secret Power to win the South Otago Cup. The Parsons scored their other victory when apprentice rider Krishna Mudhoo pushed out Keep The Lot to win her first start since early July.
