Seel The Deal returns
Nine-win pacer Seel The Deal returned from a seven-month break to win at the Rangiora trials yesterday. The Greg and Nina Hope-trained seven-year-old brushed over his last 800m in 56.3sec, clocking 3:19.6 for the 2600m (stand). He has only raced 21 times due to niggling injuries and is currently rated as a $101 chance to win the New Zealand Cup on November 14.
