Lisa Allpress pulled the right rein when she opted to partner Devine Love at Tauherenikau for Johno Benner and Hollie Wynyard.
The Wanganui-based jockey had a choice of rides for the Otaki trainers in Thursday’s Sargents Motorcycles Maiden (1000m) and Devine Love duly beat stablemate Magico.
“She’s a really nice little filly and I rode her at the jump-outs last week,” Allpress said. “I thought the 1000m would suit her.”
Devine Love is a daughter of Dalghar, also the sire of the stable’s Gr.2 Wellington Guineas (1400m) winner Scott Base.
“She’s a filly we really like,” Benner said, “We don’t mind these Dalghars, they’re nice horses.”
