Raise You Ten Wins Listed Gore Guineas

At Gore in New Zealand, White Robe Lodge's regally bred stallion Raise The Flag (Sadler's Wells-Hasili, Kahyasi) added a black-type success when 3YO gelding Raise You Ten (Raise the Flag-Molly Malone, by Towkay) scored by a neck for trainers Brian & Shane Anderton in the NZ$50,000 Listed Gore Guineas (1335m) for 3YOs, over 3YO fillies Showemup (Showcasing-Quizzical, by Carnegie) & Starvoia (Starcraft-Savoia, by Charge Forward). Brian and Shane Anderton were far from surprised by Raise You Ten's defeat of his fellow three-year-olds in Saturday's Listed Gore Guineas, reports NZ Racing Desk. The father and son training combination were quietly confident about their 41-1 longshot's chances in feature. "I think he's one of the better horses we've had for a fair while," Brian Anderton said. "Since we gelded him he's knuckled down and he's a real racehorse now." In registering her first victory at stakes level, Raise You Ten improved his record to 2 wins and 1 placing from 5 starts for NZ$38,200 earnings.
