BLAST FROM THE PAST

2002 CANTERBURY PARK TROTTING CUP - Won by Dependable

2002 GIANNIS PITA BREAD CANTERBURY PARK TROTTING CUP

Dependable was fresh when he accounted for Take A Moment in the Giannis Pita Bread Canterbury Park Trotting Cup.

Trainer Allan Georgeson said he had been "ready sometimes" to make a speech after a race by Dependable, "but I didn't think I would be making one tonight, not when he was first-up over two miles."

And it never entered his mind when Dependable went close to elimination after Play On broke at the top of the straight. Sent after Take A Moment, Dependable made it in good time, with Waihemo Hanger running on late for third.

"He can sprint as well as a pacer," said Georgeson.
