Picture credit: Muzi Yeni makes it a double for himself and Kelly Mitchley today with an enterprising ride on the Time Thief gelding Abound. Heart Stealer was backed into 5/10 for this race as he had run to about a 90 rating when winning a Graduation Plate last time over this same 1400m course and distance and today was running off a 70 merit rating, but Yeni sent Abound straight to the front and Richard Fourie was left out of his ground on Heart Stealer and could only run on late for a 1,50 length second (Pauline Herman Photography)
