This Saturday Chris Waller’s top performing mare Red Tracer will look to finally break through at elite level with her first Group 1 success in the Tattersall’s Tiara 2013 but she will have to overcome a horror gate to do so.
Of the 16 fillies and mares engaged to face off in the $500,000 Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara (1400m), the Eagle Farm feature the last Group 1 of the season, Waller’s Dane Shadow five-year-old is the second widest drawn in gate 15.
And with no Tattersall’s Tiara winner in history having jumped from wider than 14, the gate last year’s champ Pear Tart was successful from, she is facing a tough test.
Red Tracer has had nine Group 1 starts to date including last year’s Tatt’s Tiara when only half a length away fourth from the winner in the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival classic.
She came oh so close on two occasions this Sydney Autumn Carnival to taking home a coveted Group 1 trophy too when second to Appearance in both the Coolmore Classic and Queen Of The Turf Stakes at Rosehill.
From there Red Tracer was a distant 15th in the Doncaster Mile when a mud track and gate 18 of 18 hampered her chances in the lucrative handicap.
Returning to form last start however Red Tracer earned back the respect of the punters when she beat home a number of other Tatt’s Tiara hopefuls in the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes (1400m) on June 8.
For that run she overcame another wide barrier (16 of 18) and will have to do the same on Saturday to hand Waller with his ninth Group 1 trophy of the season.
So can Red Tracer beat the barrier and the $4.20 top fancy to win the Tattersall’s Tiara? Or will she be playing the bridesmaid once again as her $4.80 price in the current markets suggest she will?
