Heat 6 – Fillies – Lady Tassort – 48.98

Lady Tassort is the third foal of Ice Cream Lady, a winning Not a Single Doubt mare from the family of Group I winning filly Aragen.

 

Heat 5 – Colts – Highness – 49.29 seconds

Trained by Michael Freedman  for the James Harron colts partners, Snitzel colt Highness did everything right in his heat and when given a slap with the whip by Tommy Berry responded well to forge clear and win.
