The Hombre Brisbane bound

22 March 2013, 8:25 a.m.


The Hombre will be racing for travelling expenses to Brisbane when he fronts up at Tauranga on Saturday.

Trainer John Bary has plans for a return to familiar territory with his Group One performer who more than paid his way in Brisbane as a three-year-old.

The Hombre won the Rough Habit Plate and finished runner-up in the Grand Prix Stakes, but has since been successfully reverted to a sprinting career.

He has been particularly effective right-handed and won the Listed Hallmark Stud Newmarket Handicap on Boxing Day at Ellerslie where he has also placed in the Gr.1 Railway Stakes and the Gr.3 Darley Plate.

Stablemate Survived, who trounced his midweek opposition at Arawa Park earlier this week, is also on Bary’s short list for Brisbane. He will make his next appearance in Saturday week’s Gr.3 Higgins Manawatu Classic.
