Media Release - Thursday November 8

The exploits of star Tasmanian filly Mystic Journey during the Victorian Spring Racing Carnival certainly lifted the profile of her sire Needs Further, and last night his progeny lit up the Launceston racecourse.

Needs FurtherFiveandfurther (4m Needs Further x Squeel) was first up for new trainer Stephen Lockhart and the mare was very impressive after being severely checked at the 300m to storm over the top to break her maiden. Fiveandfurther was a graduate of the Tasmanian Magic Millions sale in 2016 for $15,000.

Appraise (3g Needs Further x Phyl's Choice) finally delivered on the huge wraps that have been on him with a super impressive win in the 3YO Maiden over 1100m.

It was a Needs Further quinella with A Tad More (3f Needs Further x Al Ward) again running impressively for young trainer Chester Roach and a win is not far away for this filly.

In what could have been an even better night for Needs Further, Nova Vista - (4m Needs Further x Novasaurus) just missed making it back to back wins when running second in the Class 1 Hcp (1420 Metres) and Triple Strip ran a creditable 3rd giving her older rivals weight in the BM64 over 1620m.
