Amber HoffmanHighly strung mares Zedaam and Crispin rewarded their connections with wins at Wingatui yesterday after earlier testing their patience. Waikouaiti mare Zedaam was on her best behaviour to help trainer Amber Hoffman notch her best win of her thoroughbred training career when winning race 3. North Taieri mare Crispin had her mind on the job when beating a competitive line-up in race 8. Basic procedures, such as getting shod, turn into a full military-style operation because of the mare’s highly strung nature. Wingatui apprentice Corey Campbell rode the 5yr-old before that and had a big influence on the highly strung mare.
