Veteran sprinter Antonio Lombardo showed he is on target to defend his Gr. 3 Linwood Park Stud Spring Sprint title at Hastings in October with a resounding victory at Ruakaka on the weekend.

Matamata trainers Peter and Jacob McKay are poised to play leading roles at Saturday's Ruakaka meeting.

A heady ride to secure victory on grand campaigner Antonio Lombardo at Tauranga on Saturday may have earned apprentice Shaun McKay a crack in stakes company on the venerable galloper.
