Casey juggernaut keeps rolling

Trevor Casey is having one of those runs with his harness racing team that most of us can only dream about.

The winners just seem to keep coming at the moment and today at Motukarara Trevor added another winner to the ever growing list when Ygritte was way too strong in the maiden trot.

The three year daughter of Majestic Son bounced to front from barrier one for in form junior driver Loren Lester and that was just about game over from that point on.

Ygritte was really travelling as they turned for home and Loren didn't have to get too busy for Ygritte to hold on for a really impressive victory.

Trevor wasn't too surprised about the performance of Ygritte.

" She has taken a wee while to get organized but has really been on the up lately."

"I thought if she went away she would be tough to beat," Trevor said.

Trevor bred the filly from the Simon Roydon mare A Touch Of Son who is also the dam of the high class full brother to Ygritte in King Denny 2:00.1 ($174,379) who was the dominant three year old trotter in New Zealand last season.

Trevor no longer has the Simon Roydon mare in his broodmare band.

" Since I had a full sister to King Denny, I sold the mare last year," Trevor said.

Plans for Ygritte were settled pretty quickly post race today.

" She can have a wee break after that run today" 

" We will get her back and maybe aim her at the Oaks," Trevor said.

Trevor already has the star filly Wanna Play on song for the Group 3 race and in Ygritte he has a more than capable second stringer.
