Zarbo too zippy in Mount Gambier Cup

Strike rate queen Zipping Zarbo was finally rewarded for ultra-consistency with her first Group race win yesterday.

Prepared at Lara, the Deb Coleman-trained flier produced a customary frontrunning display to take home a $10,000 first prize in the Listed Mount Gambier Cup (512m) at Tara Raceway.

One of five Victorians in the final, Zipping Zarbo ($1.90F) catapulted from the ‘red’ alley and led all the way to defeat ‘journeyman’ Renewed ($23.00) by three-quarters of a length, with counterpart Fabriola Zad ($3.50) flying home for third, a further one length away in 29.56sec.
