It took only three runs for top trotter Rejuvenation to return to the winning list in South Australia.
At Globe Derby Park on Saturday night, Rejuvenation ($11.40) came off a 40-metre handicap for driver Danielle Hill to score a long head win in the Lion Pty Ltd Trotters Discretionary (2230m) beating Our Solar Flare ($19.70) with Emilys Vacation ($10.20), a metre away third.
It was a fantastic effort by the nine-year-old who sprinted powerfully in the home straight and scored despite wanting to hang in close to home.
Trainer Ray Goble was delighted to have his favourite back in winning form.
“I have been happy with the way he is going but felt it might be too much of an ask coming off 40 metres,” Goble said.
“I sent him to Victoria last year because of a lack of races and the fact he was basically being handicapped out of the ones he could contest.
“Now he was won again I will have to look at what to do with him.
“I might freshen him up and get him ready for the major races during March and April such as the Fred Jones, Hambeltonian and Gramel.”
Bred locally by David Shammall, Rejuvenation has been a wonderful trotter for owner Angela Goble winning 30 races from just 97 starts.
