Streaming Live on song

- JONNY TURNER

IT doesn’t matter where, when, or who is driving, Streaming Live just keeps on winning.

The mare made it a hattrick of wins and remained unbeaten in her new campaign when speeding to victory along the inner in race 5 at Young Quinn Raceway on Thursday

Streaming Live was brilliantl­y consistent last time in but was unable to break maidens in 11 starts.

But since returning to racing the mare has clearly taken her game to a new level under trainer Petra Luzumova’s care.

Luzumova puts the mare’s progress down her developing into a lean racing machine.

“She is loving it at the moment. “Last year when she started racing she always had a bit of condition on her and I was always trying to get the weight off her.

“She shot up while she was out and she has come back in looking more like a racehorse.

“I have managed to get the weight off her and she is looking great.”

Streaming Live has shown speed in her last two wins which have both coming via the passing lane.

Kerryn Tomlinson secured the mare a perfect run in the trail.

Before then it was Mark Purdon doing the steering at Oamaru and prior to that Brad Williamson piloted the 4yrold to her maiden victory at Wyndham.

“Three wins and three different drivers,” Luzumova said.

“They all say she is like driving a motorcar.”

Luzumova races Streaming Live with the Waitaki Whispering Pines Syndicate.

“They are mostly friends of ours from Kurow. I think they are having a great time with the horse.

“She is going to have a week off to freshen up, then I will find another race for her.

“She is still low in the ratings with the penaltyfre­e win today.”

Alongside Tomlinson, Sarah O’Reilly and Tristan Larsen both clinched crucial penaltyfre­e wins at the meeting.

Larsen and his boss Brett Gray combined for a winning double with Swedish Starlet and Peregrine.
