In only his second ever race, in the semi-finals Heat 2 of The Woodsgift Magic Open Novice 525yds Stake at Thurles on Saturday evening, NAMETAB KIWI, once again won his heat in 29.71, on a track that was generally thought to be -30 slow. He was from an unfavourable Trap draw, being Trap 1, as he moved off to middle from that Trap, but the Books still had him at 1/2 f. He had to show enormous courage to shake off the challenge of Active Woods from Trap 6, and he soon opened up a lead coming off the second bend, and continued to run on strongly to the line, beating his rivals by 4 lengths. He is now in the Final of the Stake next Saturday, 4th November, from Trap 2.
