An eye-catching finale suggests Tasmanian raider Blame It On Me is well and truly up to competing with some of the best mares on the mainland, and her trainer Doug Nettlefold is warning punters not to discount her chances of a blowout victory this Saturday night in Geelong.
The four-year-old settled at the rear of the field in last weekend’s Make Mine Cullen at Ballarat, but ripped home with the second fastest final 400m of the race to finish fifth behind winner Spellbound.
The performance, in a slippery mile rate of 1:52.8 over the 1710m trip, earned Blame It On Me a point from the opening leg of the Elizabeth Clarke Mares Triple Crown, with the series to continue in the Angelique Club Pace this Saturday night.
