Ben takes a bow

Ben (racing name Hands On) bows to the crowd after winning for us at Rangiora today. This was a great thrill as I was not overly confident of him winning. After his first two starts finishing 7th and 8th he has now got it all together with a 3rd followed by consecutive wins. New trainer Brendan (Benny) Hill, in picture, has done a great job with him since he was transferred to the South Island for his future racing.
