Natuzzi aka Benny & Good Boy - heading back to where it all began. He has retired sound and will now start his next journey back in Wingatui where he will hopefully be seen in the dressage arena - good luck to Alex Clarke who we are sure will do a wonderful job with him

Natuzzi and Beyond Dispute prepared pleasingly this morning ahead of their Rotorua assignments.

With trainer Paul Richards in the saddle, Natuzzi galloped with stablemate Bojangles (Saxton) returning a time of 52.5 for 800m, coming home in 37.0 for the 600m. Natuzzi makes his first appearance this season in the Wfa 1200m at Rotorua on Saturday following a couple of nice 1000m trial runs, the latest at Whangarei a week ago.

Trackwork from Byerley Park this morning. Evergreen Natuzzi (Saxton) and Bojangles (Richards) produced smart work when galloping 1000m in 1:03.0, the last 600m in 36.2. Both may run at Ellerslie with Doni Prastiyou to ride but trainer Paul Richards reluctant to race either horse in very testing conditions.

Trackwork rider/stablehand required, Byerley Park, South Auckland, 25-30 hours per week, please PM if interested
