Murtoa owner-trainer Josh McDonald’s good run at Tara Raceway over the past eight weeks continued at a recent Sunday meeting with It’s A Punisher.

Lining up in the Swallow Drive Meats Stake (400 metres), the black dog led all the way from box four when defeating Camargo by two lengths in 23.59 seconds.

It’s A Punisher is by Orson Allen out of Lilly An’ Page who won a couple of races at Tara Raceway in December 2019 for McDonald – around the same time he won his first race at the Mount Gambier track with Magnet Force.

“She’s had only the one litter, which I bred,” McDonald said. “I actually sold It’s A Punisher as a pup. In March this year he was returned to me after having won a race at Bendigo over 500 metres 12 months ago.”
