\u201cWe\u2019ve had a race like the Eight Carat in the back of our minds for a while, and now that\u2019s cleared maiden grade she deserves her chance at black-type now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fleeting Star, a daughter of former leading 2-year-old Cool Aza Beel, who Richardson bid $80,000 for in Book 1 at last year\u2019s National Sale, is part-owned by a Richardson Racing Syndicate, as is Lollapalooza, whose $30,000 price tag from Book 2 of the same Karaka sale makes her a genuine bargain.<\/p>\n
After seven starts, the El Roca filly\u2019s stake earnings stand at a tick under $250,000, and her co-trainer is looking optimistically to upcoming features.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was very proud of her second in the 1000 Guineas. There\u2019s no doubting Well Written\u2019s class, but our filly never stopped trying and had all the others covered over the final stages.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe had two weeks off after getting home from Christchurch and her work since coming back in has been very good.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019ll run in the special trial before the first race here on Friday and that should top her off nicely for Boxing Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cVinnie [Colgan] stays on her in the Eight Carat and we\u2019ve booked Opie [Bosson] for Fleeting Star.\u201d<\/p>\n
As New Zealand Bloodstock sales graduates, both fillies are qualified to run in the TAB Karaka Millions 3YO and the NZB Kiwi.<\/p>\n
\u201cLollapalooza has had those races on her programme right through and if Fleeting Star continues to step up we\u2019d have to consider her as well.\u201d <\/p>\n
Richardson and Norvall, who produced Britannia Gold for a narrow but impressive fresh-up win at Te Rapa last Saturday, will have relatively light representation at Friday\u2019s home track meeting. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe best of ours is Buccino, who kicks off a new campaign in one of the maiden 1200 races. We\u2019re happy with the way she\u2019s coming to hand. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a 5-year-old now and has a had a few starts, but she\u2019s been placed in half of them and when you combine her experience and maturity, her turn can\u2019t be far away.\u201d <\/p>\n
