Good manners played a major role in Thats Not My Gait’s fighting victory in the 2503m TABtouch Trot at Gloucester Park on Friday night, with her win completing a driving double for Aiden De Campo.
Thats My Gait was a $5.50 chance from the 20m mark, and her task was made easier when the $2.20 favourite Marengo Bay galloped badly 120m after the start and dropped back to the rear. Then Son Of A Whiz ($31) broke when challenging for the lead 30m later and was relegated to last in the field of eleven.
Thats Not My Gait’s victory completed a winning hat-trick for the six-year-old mare who is a smart trotter despite being by noted pacing stallion Follow The Stars and out of pacing mare Forever Happy.
She is proving a wonderful performer for her breeder, owner and trainer David Young, and now has earned $132,058 from 14 wins and 21 placings from 58 starts.
