HELLAVAHANOVER TO TRY HER LUCK IN NSW
Hellavahanover, who failed to step at Addington on Show day for driver Tony Herlihy.
Hellavahanover, withdrawn from the Timaru meeting on Saturday, is leaving the Mark Jones stable to do her future racing in New South Wales.
The 4YO Brylin Boyz mare is being sent to Sydney trainer Joe Rando after being pulled up for the second consecutive time with suspect stand start manners at Addington on Show day.
The Rando stable has had success with close relative Romper’s Monarchy (5m Monarchy-Amandas Gem), who has won four from 20 starts and scored back-to-back Tabcorp Park, Menangle, wins last month.
Hellavahanover did step off the unruly off 20m and proved too good in a C0-1 trot at the Tuapeka meeting at Forbury on October 26 for driver Blair Orange.
She was also a maiden winner at Auckland over 2200m from a stand in March, first-up in her north stint for Gareth Dixon.
Hellavahanover, from a half-sister to Romper Stomper (2:00.1 mile rate 2600m, 12 wins & $180,579) and two-race winner Amanda’s Flash, won two of 15 NZ starts.
