Cambridge trainer Tony Pike has been keeping a weather watch on Hamilton as his top sprinter Sacred Star prepares for another tilt at Te Rapa’s major sprint.

Top notch sprinter Sacred Star will be out to make up for lost time at Trentham.

Glamour Kiwi mare Volpe Veloce will be in rare company if she wins the $NZ250,000 Berkett Telegraph at Trentham on Saturday.

Ever Loyal came a long way in a short time during the spring and continued improvement is expected during his summer campaign.

Top sprinter Sacred Star is on the right track for a fresh-up tilt at the Gr.1 Sistema Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day.
