Feature double for Tintin

Yirribee Pacing Stud resident sire Tintin In America had a red-letter weekend when he left harness racing feature race winners in two States.

Rippin Rupert, a two-year-old gelding, powered home from midfield to capture the Group 2 $50,000 NSW Sapling Stakes in 1:53.2 at Menangle at only his second start.

The following night Nerano NZ annexed his third country cup success when he outsprinted his rivals in the Wangaratta Pacing Cup.

Tintin In America was also represented by the grey Tennessee Miracle, who completed back-to-back wins at Globe Derby Park in the space of five days.

Lady Zegna, a first crop daughter of world champion Warrawee Needy, made it three wins from five lifetime starts when she led throughout in a career-best 1:57.6 at Gloucester Park.

Warrawee Needy also sired the fast Canadian winners High Flyin Jamie (1:54.6) and Rocket Girl (1:59.6).

Arma Einstein, a gelding by Renaissance Man, notched his sixth success at Gloucester Park and lifted his stake tally to more than $90,000, while the Million Dollar Cam three-year-old filly Rumblin made it two starts for two wins this season at Dubbo.

Tintin In America, Warrawee Needy, Renaissance Man and Million Dollar Cam are all members of the Yirribee Pacing Stud sire roster.
