Debbi Harri (aka 'Blondie') provided lots of first time owners with the taste of racetrack success today at Wanganui.
Owned by the Challenge Evolution Syndicate, the 3YO filly is prepared at Hastings by John Bary.

Following a distinguished career that saw him triumph on both sides of the Tasman, Callsign Mav bids farewell to the track after his last appearance at Otaki on Saturday. After consideration this week, the owners in consultation with trainer John Bary...

What a gutsy run from Callsign Mav to run 3rd in the Group 1 BCD Sprint @TeRapaRacing. Such a warhorse with @jkbriddell giving him another great opportunity 👏
Lot 946...thrilled to have secured this cracking Shocking colt from @RichHillStud. Out of Jimmy Choux mare Setsail he bears a remarkable resemblance to our ex champ. Will be syndicating.
Deeply saddened to hear the news about Jimmy Choux's passing. He was an absolute champion horse and his exploits put me and @jkbriddell on the map. Of his 5 Group 1 wins, his win in the NZ Derby showed his class & toughness and forever remains a cherished memory. RIP old friend.
Vitesse won a single race for her Challenge Syndicate from the stable of Shaune Ritchie - it's as a broodmare that she is shining. Her son KOVALICA is already a Group One winner and chases the A$10m purse of Saturday's Golden Eagle.

The delightful DEBBI HARRI (2yo filly by Vespa) before her debut third yesterday at Trentham Gardens.
Debbi Harri shares something in common with fellow Challenge fillies JENNIFER ECCLES and ENRAPTURED - all were selected as foals.

Debbi Harri (2yo filly by Vespa) is one super-professional girl.
Lovely second in her first trial at Foxton today. Went to the start like an old pro, jumped quickly and raced straight-and-true. Filly (see pic as a yearling) is trained by John Bary.

Delighted to witness trackwork at the John Bary private training centre this morning. Pegau (left) & Best Seller (right) both looked ready for their respective assignments at Hastings today.
