Abidewithme wins 2015 Travis Stakes Group 2 NZ$ 100,000 at Te Rapa (NZ) Fillies & Mares, 2000m.
Abidewithme settled down in tenth position one off the fence about ten lengths from the leader Girl Of My Dreams who ran along in front stretching the field out over plenty of ground. She came widest of all on turning for home still a good six lengths from the leaders at the top of the straight. She closed well on the outside and despite hanging in proved too good to score a little cosily on the line.
Lauren Tate enjoyed a good run in the race in seventh position on the fence. She improved her position from the 700m, switching off the fence and turning for home three wide. She gained a run between runners before hitting the front at the 250m and stayed on gamely but could not match the late effort of the winner on her outside. A game effort in defeat.
