Zara’s Entity stamped herself as one of the most exciting youngsters in the country with an emphatic victory at Sandown Park tonight.
Following on from her brilliant 7.5 length win in Sunday’s heat, Zara’s Entity improved on that effort, winning tonight’s final by 8 lengths in 29.46, the fastest time of the night. While her overall time was only fractionally faster than that which she recorded on Sunday, it was the manner by which she did it that turned heads. Drawn in box three, Zara’s Entity jumping brilliantly to lead by two lengths on landing was never in danger.
“She’s done really well,” said handler Brad Greenough following the race.
“It was a very smart field and she did well to get out as well as she did. She’s shown early pace in her trials but this is the first time she’s shown it in a race, she looks like she has a bright future.”
It was a view echoed by Zara Entity’s trainer Kel Greenough who believes Zara’s Entity has a chance to make it at the top level of the sport, but will take his time with his exciting prospect.
“We’ll keep her in age restricted races and see how she develops,” he said.
“We may go to the Warragul St Ledger in a couple of weeks and see what else is there for her.”
It was her third win in five career starts and ran an unlucky second in her other two appearances. The win took her prize money beyond $10,000.
Later in the night, reigning National Sprint Champion Worm Burner won for the 44th time in his career with a powerful win in the night’s top graded race.
