Willing worker wins again for Roxburgh trainers
THE horse that keeps on giving gave a little more to win at Oamaru yesterday. Roxburgh pacer Fiery Ferret scored career win Nob at start 76 for trainers Geoff and Jude Knight and driver John Morn-son. The win handed the trainers a winning double after Candidasa broke his maiden ear-lier in the day. Fiery Ferret has been such a regular sight at southern har-ness racing meetings in recent seasons he could be considered part of the furniture. If the pacer continues to show the kind of zest he showed when winning yester-day. he will be around for many more. "He is just a lovely old horse. The ratings system suits him because he goes up and down and finds his mart" Geoff Knight said. "He loves racing on grass because he has got a few niggles. "He is actually a horse that wants to be worked He gets bored and stands at his gate if you don't work him." Morrison gave Fiery Ferret a perfect run in the trail through-out before bringing the pacer to the outside of the leader, Doc Seelster, to launch his run in the straight. Driver Matthew Williamson also gave Candidasa a perfect run in the trail. However, he chose to stick to the running rail on the home turn. The result was the same, as the pacer ran an impressive four and a-half-length victory. The Knights winning double comes after their stable has undergone a time of change. The couple have scaled back their training commitments after beginning a new venture as rural delivery contractors in the Roxburgh area The move means they will now train a smaller team of horses. Judging by their results yes-terday, the change is working. "We are loving it so Mr. It is a great lifestyle and we are really enjoying it
