First it was Penny Drop, Nearly Irish and Time To Burn who strung together a treble at Tara Raceway for Hamilton trainer Kyle Goodwin back on August 11.
And then at Tara Raceway’s time-graded meeting last Thursday it was Goodwin’s mother, Lorraine, who trained three winners – Pace To Burn, JaJa Ding Dong and Blue To Burn.
Pace To Burn, a son of Fernando Bale and Sublime News, settled in third spot in the Metal Worx TG5+W Stake (400 metres) before railing through off the back to take the lead from Mocambora Mia and run out a three length winner in 23.72 seconds.
Also bred and owned by Goodwin, the white and black dog boasts a strong staying dam line and is now an eight-race winner.
JaJa Ding Dong, the quicker of the two Fast Forward 1-4 wins series (400 m) heats, is through to the Category 2 prize money final at this Thursday’s meeting.
The daughter of Beast Unleashed and Storm To Burn found herself in second spot behind Sophie’s Beast before finishing well and holding out Eskimo Ruby to win by three-quarters of a length in 23.45 seconds.
Litter sister Blue To Burn brought up the treble in the Icon Signs TG1-4W Stake (400 m) when settling in second spot before taking the lead turning for home and running out a four length winner over Handy Malone in 23.35 seconds.
Complementing the treble was son Kyle’s win with Penny Drop, the daughter of Fernando Bale and All Dolled Up winning her first race since the end of August after finding the front going out of the first turn.
rom then on, the black bitch was never headed in the Klaassens Contractors TG5+W Stake (512 m), eventually having 3¼ lengths to spare over Cadillac Patch when bringing up her sixth win at the track in a handy 30.17 seconds.
Another good day for the mother and son team who collectively has now trained 64 winners this year at Tara Raceway – Lorraine 40 and Kyle 24.
And more busy times look to be ahead for the Goodwins following the recent mating of Princess Kiwi with Aussie Infrared – due to whelp next month.
Among Princess Kiwi’s earlier litter by Fernando Bale is NSW chaser Ferness who has won 10 races and more than $115,000 in prize money while the Goodwins have won 10 races with Kiwi To Burn at Tara Raceway.
They are also holding out high hopes for their February 2024 Princess Kiwi litter of 10 dogs and two bitches by Tommy Shelby.
