Guineas Plan B if No Imptee Hong Kong Sale

Saturday’s New Zealand 2YO winner Imptee (Impending-The Kipling Girl, by High Chaparral) has had a few offers from Hong Kong, but trainer Danny Crozier has a solid plan b if he doesn’t sell, reports racingnews.co.nz. “We have a special affinity with him, we broke him in and he is a lovely horse. He probably should have won his first start (when third), but he won well the other day,” Crozier said. “My partner, Rachel Deegan, works at Addington (Raceway) and she got together with Chrissie Dalgety, Angela Boyd and a few others. They are a great bunch of people and this is the first galloper they have ever had. They got a huge kick out of the win the other day. The penny hasn’t even dropped with him yet. What he is doing at the moment is on pure ability. He has got a brain and is a lovely horse.” Crozier stated, “I think he has got the makings of a lovely 3YO and hopefully he can be a Guineas horse later on. I will give him two or three weeks in the paddock, he has been in work for a little while… There is a bit of water to go under the bridge, but the Guineas will be plan b if he doesn’t go (to Hong Kong).” A $14,000 weanling purchase, Imptee is the second foal of a city winning mare.
