Short-head ‘punt’
Tekapunt pushed head in front to win in a driving finish
Racing for the fourth time, two-year-old bay colt Tekapunt with a flat and vigourous Phillip Parchment in the irons, on his final hop got up to beat Slammer (Dick Cardenas – hiddden) and Princess Alani (Matthew Bennett) on the inside with the purple and pink silks barely showing.
Trained by Jason DaCosta, Tekapunt won by short-head with Slammer a nose in front of Princess Alani.
