Yesberg trio bring hot trial form to Addington

Yesberg trio bring hot trial form to Addington. Harness racing action heads to the Addrington Raceway tomorrow night (30th Sep.) for an action-packed twelve-race card. The first race is the Canterbury Classic at Group Two level. There is a capacity field of 15 maiden trotters in the first on the card, starting at 4:40 pm.

Feel The Moment is the second foal out of the Pegasus Spur mare, Any Moment Now. He was close to trialing as a two-year-old but he wasn't quite ready. Now he's ready for a maiden race. Yesberg is well known in breeding circles for being an astute preparer of yearlings for the national sales. He will be the debutant tomorrow night. The horse got a nick on his back leg when he was a foaling. It was treated and he went through the sales but was passed in due to making reserve. John Purvis is his co-breeder. His part owner is Yesburg's partner. They will have a debut at the race tomorrow.

Yesberg trio bring hot trial form to Addington. Uptown Funk has had the ultimate gear change since he was last seen at the races. Yesberg has one of his vendors to thank for having the quality filly in his care. Icee Styxie is a cross over mare by In The Pocket bred from Free As A Bird. She won a trial at Rangiora last week. The latest issue of the NZSBA Breeding Matters publication will note the success of Bettor’s Delight cross-over mares by Free A Birds.

Yesberg trio bring hot trial form to Addington. Icee Styxie has been trained by Neil Rich and his wife. She was twice second in her only two career starts earlier in the season and was beaten into second by Chambray in last public appearance. Yesberg is disappointed she has drawn one the second line. It's probably one of the best maiden fields to be run this year. Aardies Express came third in first Nevele R Fillies heat earlier this month.
