Tarry Treble At The Vaal
The Tarry yard enjoyed a big day at the Vaal on Tuesday, when sending out a trio of winners.
The stable enjoyed a fine start to the day on Tuesday, with the yard winning the first two races at the Vaal.
Sean sent out the first-timer Egremont in the first race on Tuesday, and the two-year-old defied his starting price with a fluent win in the 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Juvenile Plate (1200m).
Under Trent Mayhew, Egremont stormed home to win on debut by nearly two lengths. A son of Sean’s classy former charge Skitt Skizzle, Egremont races for Sean Tarry Racing (Pty) Ltd and Jerome Morris.
Tuesday’s winner, who was bred by Bosworth Farm Stud, is out of a four-time winning daughter of Captain Al from the family of Captain Al stars All Is Secret, Snowdance and The Secret Is Out.
The stable struck again in the next race when the well-bred filly Alice B Toklas won the Racing Today Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies) (1200m).
A Master Of My Fate half-sister to the yard’s classy filly World Of Alice, the two-year-old had made a good debut when finishing third over 1200m, and she duly built on that performance on Tuesday.
Under Malesela Katjedi, Alice B Toklas raced prominently for much of Tuesday’s contest, and, when asked the question, she ran on strongly to shed her maiden by nearly two and a half lengths.
Bred by Varsfontein Stud, the filly races for Messrs D Chinsammy, M A Currie, G M Frank & Vendel Civils (Pty) Ltd.
The Tarry Yard’s third success on Tuesday came when Golden Operator won the sixth race on the card.
Under Keagan De Melo, the three-year-old son of Declarationofpeace ran on strongly down the outside of the track to get up and win the Racing240 Graduation Plate (1400m) a shade cosily by just over half a length.
Bred by Rathmor Stud, the three-year-old races for his breeder in partnership with Klawervlei Stud.
Golden Operator, who has won three of five starts since being gelded, hails from a family that Sean knows well, with his dam Golden Spectrum a half-sister to the Tarry-trained July winner Pomodoro.
