Wiremu Pinn looking to add to his tally at Sandown

Posted by RS NewsWire at 1:43pm on June 13th

After four city winners in the past three days, New Zealand apprentice Wiremu Pinn will look to add to his tally at Sandown.

The New Zealand whiz kid has rides in seven of the eight races on Wednesday’s card.

Pinn rode a treble at Sandown on Saturday and added to that tally with a winner at Mornington on Monday after opening his Australian account at that track on May 31.

One of his rides on Wednesday is Born Hustler for Mornington trainer Jason Warren in the Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Handicap (1600m).

Born Hustler showed a return to form at Mornington on May 31 finishing third over 1600m.

Warren thought enough of the daughter of Tarzino to take her across to Adelaide for the Group 3 Auraria Stakes (1800m) at Morphettville on April 15.

However, the trip did not go as expected.

“She was running well leading up to going to Adelaide and I thought if she was any chance of getting any ‘Black Type’ it would be over there,” Warren said.

“She didn’t really handle the trip, she came home sore, so we had to reset after that, which we did.”

With a little over a month between runs, Born Hustler then went to Bendigo where she finished last over 1500m before her improved showing at Mornington last time out.

“I thought we had her right at Bendigo, but obviously we didn’t,” Warren said.

“She had a bit of muscle soreness through the shoulder which we had to settle down. It has settled down well and she ran well last start.

“We get a good claim on Wednesday with the in-form ‘kid’ riding her.

“I think she can go there and run well on a track that she has won at, as well.”
