Dig A Pony In Fine Form
Dig A Pony lumped her 58 kgs, with a minimum of fuss, when she put paid to her rivals winning in winning the Rivette Series Final, named in honour of a gallant mare that won the Cups double in 1939.
Whilst there is no resemblance of this filly and the mare Rivette, this one is handy; she will be given the chance to show it later in the year by her trainer, Peter Moody.
Her win was quite authoritative, as she had to come from near last with 12 runners in front of her on entering the straight.
It was a popular win as she was the only one that punters wanted to support; she squared the ledger up for them after the defeat of the favourite in the first race.
Peter Moody thought the filly might have been looking for a break after her previous run; however, she has really sparked up over the last 10 days, as was shown by her win.
Moody is now looking for a race with Black Type towards the end of the Spring carnival, she now deserves a chance as she will be a four year old.
Dig A Pony is by Mutawaajid, among the tallest stallions in the country, standing 17.2 hands.
